Hi, We have come across a battery that, when brand new, can go above the reported maximum charge, leading to reports like this: $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/uevent POWER_SUPPLY_NAME=BAT1 POWER_SUPPLY_TYPE=Battery POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Unknown POWER_SUPPLY_PRESENT=1 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL_DESIGN=4160000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL=4538000 POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_NOW=4539000 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=100 POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY_LEVEL=Full [...] And then userspace get confused by Unknown and some programs even say "Charging: 100%". After applying this patch, kernel reports "Full", which for practical reasons is true, even if the battery will charge a bit more. After some time, the battery health degrades and the maximum charge meets the design expectation. Ideally this would be fixed in the battery firmware, but it's not always possible to do that.
