power consumption after shutdown

This gets more and more bizarre !!

What I am now interested in is understanding a "correct" state of 
charge value after having my battery out of the XO for one month. 
[When I insert that battery and plug in the AC adapter, the 'power' 
light is green, and the software pop-up says 94%.  But I notice that 
after an hour, the software pop-up *still* says 94%.]


I presume that when I merely "shut down" the XO, and leave it 
sitting for two days with the battery still in the case:  Then when 
I again connect the XO to the AC adapter (and let it charge until 
the 'power' light goes from yellow to green), I should be able to 
trust that what the software pop-up says is accurate.

But when the software pop-up is between 90-96% (for a previously 
out-of-case battery), and despite the AC adapter being plugged in 
that value does not increase in an hour -- what ought I to do to 
find the "state of charge" ?
