Is my battery dying?

I have a 2016 F83 with about 11k miles on it. With BimmerLink checking my battery almost always shows it at 65-70% charge level.

I got a CTEK trickle charger for LiFePo4 batteries and it seems to be doing its job. I left it running for a couple of nights. When checking BimmerLink it now shows 79%. It never seems to go past 80%.

I was expecting it to get to 100%. Is my battery on its way out or is this just how Li batteries work?

Batteries should be always at 40-80% level.
