    `Is it common that when your battery (4 months old) is fully charged it only shows 96% or 97%?

After that, it...

I'm 66 now and newly retired (6 months) - After I retired I found myself with all this time that I didn't know what to do with, so I decided I was going to get back in shape by riding my bike.
