As a side note: 100% charge indicated might be only 85% actual possible charge. I can cram another 12% into my Volt pack if I don't care about battery life. Otoh, the 12% didn't get as much added range, or motor power.

Unsure about deep discharge other than the possibility of forming battery shorting dendrites from the lithium oxides. At a point below 50% charge the ranger gets so gutless it wouldn't make it up the driveway at home at a 2% grade. Good thing your electronics won't let you get there.
