How do I know when my Honda Clarity is fully charged?

How to Know When Your Honda Clarity is Fully Charged
To know when your Honda Clarity is fully charged, you can follow these guidelines based on the information available:
1. Charging Schedule and Start Time: If you have a schedule set for charging, the Clarity will not immediately start charging when you plug it in. It will wait for the scheduled start time to begin charging. If you plug in after the scheduled start time, it will not start charging automatically. In such a case, you can either start charging with the fob, which will charge until full, or modify the start time on the schedule to start five minutes from the current time.
2. Charging Duration: The charging duration for the Clarity depends on the charging equipment used. With a 20 amp 110V circuit available, using a 16 amp level 1 charger can reduce the charging time from about 12 hours for a full charge to about 8 or 9 hours. Additionally, with a level 2 charger at 240 volts, the Clarity consistently reaches full charge between 2 and 2 1/2 hours .
3. Battery Charge Percentage: Some users prefer to keep their battery between 35% and 65% due to their fixed schedule. However, if you need the full range the next day, it’s recommended to charge to 100% and schedule it to reach 100% within 30 minutes of your expected departure time.
4. Charging Behavior: Lithium chemistry affects how the battery and charge levels are managed. It’s important to adapt your behavior to avoid prematurely wearing out the battery. For example, some users plug in the Clarity when they come home and leave it until they go to work in the morning.
Based on the available information, it’s clear that the Clarity’s charging behavior and the ability to determine when it’s fully charged depend on various factors such as the charging schedule, equipment used, and individual preferences.
