 > The battery status indicators in current EC code is broken. I haven't
 checked NMH batteries but its certainly incorrect for LFP batteries.

 I checked NiMH today and under OFW the charging correctly changes when the
 system moves from charging to discharging.  Yet the kernel only reports
 charging.  Its not a UI issue because
 /sys/class/power_supply/olpc_battery/status is wrong.  I looked at the
 olpc_battery.c and nothing looks to be out of whack.  So I don't really
 understand what happening here.  I've requested dillinger to add in some
 debugging info into the kernel so that I can see what the data is that the
 kernel is operating on.  The other bits in the status byte work as
 expected.
