You could put two batteries in the car, run them at 50% or alternate between them, and get double the life. No prizes for that. I imagine the idea is that by going to X% instead of 100% fill, you extend by more than 1/X. So at 95%, perhaps we gain 20% life instead of the expected, 1/.95 ~= 1.05 -> extra 5% life.
