On an XO-1 The reading is -4610.42 (!?) Its a 2's compliment number. Negative values are normal. But you need more than 1 reading. A single reading of the ACR doesn't tell you anything unless you reset it to a known value before you start. Reboot to Sugar and got very little battery At no

After that test, I run bat-recover once more I noticed several strange things. Running bat-recover is unnecessary and for your battery basically useless. Also bat-recover runs outside of normal battery processing so your SoC values (the %) may be invalid until you do a full discharge or
