Thanks, I was pretty sure when I posted that you would be along shortly to confirm experimentally

The question is, would a BMS reset do anything for you beyond restarting the counter?

24 hours have elapsed so I rechecked my battery readings: 12.30V @ 84%. That amount of change in itself suggests it may be suspect.

I popped the hood to have a closer look for some kind of manufacture mark to confirm the battery age, but couldn't see much further due to the plastic battery tray cover. I did discern that it has a bubble/window to show the battery state - hidden down the far end of the plastic shroud where it can't be seen!
