Ever since I upgraded battery widget, it shows different percentage. IIRC, the changelog says it reads from bq.

So, what you are saying is that when I get widget values of 40% left, and the phone beeps and shuts itself off (via BME), I actually have 40% left? What am I missing here, multimeter says BME is right.

Also, it goes nuts for small charges. Had battery at 40%, charged 10 minutes. Nokia says 50%, widget says 90%. Voltage is neigh identical. And at 3.9 volts, it's kind of neither.

Battery level has been a bit of a pet peeve of mine, since so many gadgets I have, some quite cheap, are so accurate. All Maemo seems to do is a decay average. Or less, a rate-limited convergence. Not to mention its odd way of not feeding user on charge.

I assume that it's not your code that does percentage calculation, so I'm probably just venting.
