It’s say the springs are too heavy for you but what is your normal riding weight? That is with all gear on and luggage.
Can you decrease the preload on your springs? That will lower the ride height.

If 12.84 is your target, you should have that reading or higher about 12 hours after charging as I understand it. Then you do have a fully charged battery.
