battery health and what to charge it too

[carlymart]

Hi I have just bought my first EV (Audi E-Tron 50) the battery health it says 94% on a 3 1/2 year old car. that's fine to be expected.
but is there any point even charging the car to 100% now for long trips. should I just charge to 94%
i know its a simple question but not one i can find an answer too or am i getting things wrong?

if you charge it to 100% it will be holding 100% of the 94% capacity it still has.
If you charge it to 94% it will be holding 94% of the 94% capacity remaining.

Where did you get the 94% value from?
