Bat Full

Your battery jumped from 58% to Full while only receiving around 30mAh 
of charge.  So it has issues.

For an older battery I would suspect charge balance symptom but your 
serial number starts with 008 which is beyond the lot of problem 
batteries and you have indicated you already ran bat-recover.

So either your battery was not really at 58% or its suffered a lot of 
capacity loss.

The next step would be to do a full discharge/recharge/discharge cycle 
while running olpc-pwr-log (stop powerd first) to measure the existing 
capacity.

A quick summary of the procedure:

- Boot laptop; stop powerd; run olpc-pwr-log; disconnect external power 
let laptop power off shut off.
- Remove battery;connect external power; boot; stop powerd; run 
olpc-pwr-log; insert battery; let charge to full;
- Ctrl-C to stop olpc-pwr-log; re-run olpc-pwr-log; disconnect external 
power; let laptop power off;

You can try to figure out the log files from the code I previously 
pointed you at or you can send them to me.
