this is my favorite way. got this from someone (can't remember who) on irc: cat `find /sys/ | grep battvolt` the output is in millivolts. ~4224 millivolts is completely charged

I think you expect too much from the software in this early state.Also you shouldn't trust the battery indicator in the top menu. Atleast in the last buildhost-images it is out of function!
