[RE-wrenches] Max charge for lithium batteries

[Chris Mason]

There's no benefit to charging to 100%. If the charging parameters are set
up correctly, you'll never really get to 100%.
If you look at most prismatic cells, the absolutely maximum voltage is
3.65V. My systems are set up to charge to 3.4V or 54.4V. I take that as
100%.
