As a former powerwheelchair user I know hte battery indicators are never right. I have driven a chair that read full and soon as I go up a ramp it falls flat on its face and tells me time to recharge. I also have driven on for days when I get the message to recharge or battery low.

As an I2 owner Ive been told the soc display is very inaccurate and slow. I tend to believe it. I also see that a heavy load on the 12 volt side doesnt seem to be accounted for and can trigger a negative recal. Lets say using both defrosters for a few minutes.

Since I have been grid charging and balancing my I2 I see the car sits around 112 volts at 50% on the display. I see 114.5 volts or abouts when its "90%" and 117 volts when its "full". I unplug at 117 volts.
