Battery life and reset question

So after replacing my original battery a little over a year ago, my new battery has been flashing the lift icon low power warning with the clock reset on start up. Thing is, I know it's because I only drove it on very short distances for my commute for a couple months.

According to what I've read about our battery system is that the computer will slowly readjust your max capacity to limit overcharging. And because I kept a low power for this long of a period, my max has probably lowered significantly. I'm assuming this is the case because it's starting to happen more frequently regardless of having driven it on a long trip a day or 2 before.

My question is, can I simply reregister or reset the battery back to regular capacity, now that I'm driving back to longer distances?
