Comment 130 for bug 531190

I have problems with my Dell E6410 running 11.04 Natty Narwhal. I noticed some strange values for BAT0 (I have BAT1 but not installed). The following were from when my computer's battery was fully charged and on AC power:

$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_full
8061000
$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_now
8400000
$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/charge_full_design
8400000

$ upower -v
UPower client version 0.9.9
UPower daemon version 0.9.9

So may battery says it has 100% charge, but that it is no longer capable of 100% charge (capacity = 95.9643%). The battery charge indicator in Gnome (classic) displays what looks like a critical battery icon (red battery outline), but the drop-down menu lists "Laptop battery is charged." Sometimes I will get an indicator that the battery is critical as soon as I unplug AC power, at which time it will hibernate.

It seems like there is some error when it receives values with charge_now > charge_full. Does anyone else with this problem see similar values?
