From what I've read (I'm no expert), you're advised not to charge your car to 100%, unless you're going on a long drive, and in that situation, they recommend wait until right before you leave to top your battery off, then drive it to bring it below 100%..You're also advised not to bring the battery below 10% on a regular basis...
Also, Supercharging the battery on a regular basis also degrades the battery more quickly. Slow charging your battery to, say, 80-90% most days and recharging it before it gets very low will maintain your batteries health.
I'm sure your battery hasn't suffered major harm, but if you've only driven it 6,000 miles and have already drained it below 10% on a few occasions, and charged it to 100%, I'd suggest set it to charge at home at 80-85%, leave it and forget it.
My two cents.... (80-85% battery charge gives my MYP between 250-260 miles range, more then enough for daily driving, other then if I'm going on a long out of town trip)
