New description:

 After having plugged in the machine for ~2 hours, I checked the battery
 capacity and it said 100%. So I removed the power plug and waited for the
 battery to discharge. It has now been discharging for 30 minutes and
 /sys/class/battery/psu_0/capacity_percentage is still 100.
 /sys/class/battery/psu_0/current fluctuated between -900 and -1300.
