Somebody in the thread at some point said:

Note that temp is in 1/10 degrees C, other values are in uV,
uA, uW. The time_to_* reported are bogus, but that is what
the battery actually reports.''
Those time estimates are bogus because that battery was never charged at
that time. The values are sensible once the charger patches are applied
(some of which are still coming), particularly "capacity" works nicely,
it's a percentage -- as you can see that battery was getting pretty empty.
Willie and our hardware people just meet battery vendor yesterday, and
they required some parameter from us to make the coulomb work more
_smart_ . I will update these parameters if hardware side finish the
experiment today. Current parameter inside coulomb battery was some
_default_ value, and these value might not reveal really battery
performance. And wirting/re-program the battery need external 21v power
and special fixture to erase eeprom inside the PCBA.
And the battery self update rate is about 2.5 sec, so the hdq
application won't need visit battery so often.
