Has anyone noted the average or max cell voltage at the end of a "full" charge cycle under the new software? That's about the only way I could think it could open up more capacity. You'd have to catch it while the charger is still on and tapering... There certainly isn't much space on the bottom as the voltages drop like a rock when you get down to single digit Gids. But on the top it's hard to say exactly what the stop charge trigger is. Average seems to be about 4.1V/cell but max can be 4.115? or 4.125? I forget.. Judging by how we get a whopping 15% (up to 50 extra Gids) by going to "full" rather than 80%, it seems just opening this up just a tad could give more capacity.
