Battery Charging Behaviour E200

[CharlesT]

I noticed that when charging using r20573-090329 the charging indicator stops when the battery reaches 96%.

When I then reboot into the Original Firmware and charge until the icon stops blinking and then boot back into Rockbox, the battery is at 100%.

Not that 4% is going to have a drastic effect on playback time, but it is an inconsistency with the OF.

its most likely because of the different ways the 2 firmwares detect how much battery is left.

Obviously.

I just thought that a Dev would want to know about this and, if they could, modify the code so that the RB firmware more closely mimicked the OF as regards battery charging.
