Battery

Relative newbe here, is it possible to reboot your battery? Lately me S won't charge all the way to the specified setting. An example - when charge is set to 80% car charges to 76-77%. Also 85% charge has dropped from 225-226 to 220-221.
Anything I can do from home to maybe fix this?
Thanks
 
I've never had my X charge to strange percents. If you charge early in the morning and it sits for a few hours before you check it the battery level might be down due to vampire losses. I think most likely at 76% to 77% is that the car did not actually charge at all. typically it will wait until it's about 3% lower than the charge limit before it will start to charge. That's all normal.

The 85% charge drop could be normal battery degradation (how old is the car?). It could also be an imbalance (helped by charging close to 100%, but don't leave it sitting at 100% for long), or just a battery monitor estimation error (helped by nearly draining the battery and then filling it again). That should allow a more accurate estimate. There have also been firmware updates that have changed the battery level estimate that can cause a sudden drop in rated miles at specific percentage charges. That happened to my X in mid-2017, but is very infrequent. But if you are comparing RM from long ago to RM now that is a possibility.
