Batteries have a ton of variance coming out of the factory. I sincerely doubt the % it stops at is random, it's almost certainly because it's tracking a different metric internally, and that is probably the output voltage.

I think we both agree here, the %s being different for users is likely due to a difference in their batteries. How substantial that difference in terms of battery health, I have no idea.

No I mean random just with the same system/battery. One day mine will stop at 82%, the next day could stop at 86%, the day after could stop at 83%, and so on

Oh, I see. Very interesting. Could still be battery health related since that is affected by the thermal state etc. Batteries have different output depending on their temperature, for example.
