Start by reading:
http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Power_Consumption
.. and download the chipset specs and read this.
http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Hardware_Charge_Meter discusses the battery and what you can see in the software delivered with the phone. Note the remark on Hardware:
In many phones, this chip would be integrated into the battery, which has a number of benefits, from more rapid temperature sensing of potentially dangerous conditions in the battery, to being able to swap the battery, and have the swapped batteries charge accurately measured instantly.

The N900 integrates this chip onto the motherboard.
The wiki refer to alternate battery drivers. Please study the device descriptions on the site, and if you are here to win an argument, find yourself another site.
