Then this is most probably shortcoming of BIOS on your machine,
design values are hardcoded, while actual values are read from battery itself.

That would make a sad sort of sense, yes.

acpidump as attachment this time, just to confirm.
Ok, only two batteries are known to BIOS, one is NiMH, the other is Li-Ion.
Li-Ion has hard-coded design capacity of 0x1770 or 6000.
So, this is bug in BIOS of your machine, you might call technical support if you care. I am not aware of any actual use of design values, so you are pretty safe while ignoring them.
               If (^^PCI0.LPCB.EC0.MBNH)
               {
                   Store (0x2328, Index (PBIF, One))
                   Store (0x1C20, Index (PBIF, 0x04))
                   Store ("OANI$", Index (PBIF, 0x09))
                   Store ("NiMH", Index (PBIF, 0x0B))
               }
               Else
               {
                   Store (0x1770, Index (PBIF, One))
                           ^^^^^^
                   Store (0x39D0, Index (PBIF, 0x04))
                   Sleep (0x32)
                   Store ("LION", Index (PBIF, 0x0B))
               }
