Comment(by rsmith):

 Replying to [comment:12 greenfeld]:
 > With Q4D02 (stock EC code) + 11.3.1 os26 we report the primary XO
 battery as being 100% charged once charging is complete.
 >
 > However once the charger is unplugged, we immediately drop down to
 reporting the battery's actual(?) capacity, which for non-fresh batteries
 be around 90-98% instead of than 100%.

 I think this is probably due to issues with kernel's olpc-battery driver
 that makes upowerd compute the incorrect energy capacity.  I've attached a
 patch that I think should fix that.  Please test.

 >  Immediately plugging the charger back in does not charge the battery
 (showing a green battery LED state), but doesn't force the state-of-charge
 back to 100% either.
 >
 > I'm not certain if this is the intended behavior.

 Yes.  That's intended.  It will only restart charging once you drop below
 93%.
