Right now, if I disconnect the charger from the laptop, the battery
indicator shows an almost-empty battery with an electricity symbol -
whose meaning can only be that the battery is almost empty and is being
charged.
If I disconnect the charger, then the icon shows a completely full
battery (without the electricity symbol). Which can only mean that the
battery is practically full.
So the information displayed is contraddictory. The former is wrong, and
the latter is right. The battery is actually almost full.
If I click on the icon when charging (connected), it says "0:13 to charge".
If I click on it when disconnected, it says "3:45 left". These are consistent
with each other, and with the fact that the battery actually _is_ almost full.
The battery is almost new and it takes pretty long to discharge, so it
can't be almost full and almost empty at the same time, nor is the
measured value unreliable. The fact that the textual information is
correct confirms this. It's a bug in the way the information is
displayed graphically.
Actually, while I was writing, the charging completed, the battery is
now full. If I click on the icon, it says "Battery (100%)". However, the
icon still shows the almost empty battery.
