If g-p-m would just perform even a slight filter for extreme outliers in
its data, this would be solved. I have a Medion Akoya (MSI Wind
rebrand), and yes whenever I unplug (even after fully charging),
apparently the battery reports an extreme power surge (not even sure if
it's real, it could also just be a glitch).

Not only does this trigger notifications that the battery is almost
empty when it's clearly not, it also throws off the scale of the graphs
in the power-statistics window, and the discharge profile has a bunch of
erroneous peaks in it.

Filtering them out would be fairly trivial. My normal power consumption
seems to hover between 10W and 14W, while the typical peak values
generated on unplugging the cable always is in the range of 710-720W. I
don't think there are any normal circumstances under which a battery
should/would report such a huge leap in power usage, not even when it's
near the end of its lifetime and almost immediately dies.

BTW in a related question, does anyone know where g-p-m stores its
"charge profile" and "discharge profile" data? I looked for it in
several places, without luck. I want to see and try if I can manually
remove the huge peak values that are in the discharge profile, because
right now it looks like a flat line with two or three peaks towering out
of it (because of the scaling of the peaks).
