Conflicting info Di2 Battery Light / Levels. Please clarify

Newbie
Both are just approximations, but you know of course that flashing red cannot mean 0%. If it were 0%, the light would not illuminate at all.
I've been using Di2 for ten years. Here's how my experience tells me to take them . . .
Solid green - 75%+
Flashing green - 50% to 75%
Solid red - 15% to 50%
Flashing red - Less than that.
As a practical matter, I recharge when the green starts flashing. Even though I put about 8,000 miles per year on the bike, I still only have to charge the battery three or four times a year. Charging on flashing green means I never have to worry about it.

Whoa! Do you have the d-fly staying connected to Bluetooth when not in use by any chance? I’ve 150 miles after the last charge and it dropped to 90% from full charge.

300? That's way too often - I would have that checked. (Stores with the sm-pce02 can check for battery consumption issues).
You should be able to ride at least 1000 miles before having to charge, typically.

1500km or so is ballpark for normal usage.
