Battery health and the charge percentage appear together in many reports, but they answer different questions. Can a battery at 100% charge still have less capacity than it had when new?
EVVerity explains
State of charge describes how full the battery is relative to the capacity currently available to it. State of health compares a condition metric with a reference, often original capacity. A hypothetical battery with 54 kWh available can be fully charged while retaining only 90% of an original 60 kWh usable capacity.
