I find it curious that the N900 will not charge beyond 90%, my laptop has no problems pushing both batteries all the way to 100%.

You can check the state of your battery by running
Code:
lshal -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme
in your xterm.

After charging (till LED shows green) I get:

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme'
battery.charge_level.capacity_state = 'full' (string)
battery.charge_level.current = 8 (0x8) (int)
battery.charge_level.design = 8 (0x8) (int)
battery.charge_level.last_full = 8 (0x8) (int)
battery.charge_level.percentage = 87 (0x57) (int)
battery.charge_level.unit = 'bars' (string)
battery.is_rechargeable = true (bool)
battery.present = true (bool)
battery.rechargeable.is_charging = false (bool)
battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = true (bool)
battery.remaining_time = 18000 (0x4650) (int)
battery.remaining_time.calculate_per_time = false (bool)
battery.reporting.current = 1099 (0x44b) (int)
battery.reporting.design = 1256 (0x4e8) (int)
battery.reporting.last_full = 1120 (0x460) (int)
battery.reporting.unit = 'mAh' (string)
battery.type = 'pda' (string)
battery.voltage.current = 4041 (0xfc9) (int)
battery.voltage.design = 4200 (0x1068) (int)
battery.voltage.unit = 'mV' (string)
info.addons = {'hald-addon-bme'} (string list)
info.capabilities = {'battery'} (string list)
info.category = 'battery' (string)
info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer' (string)
info.product = 'Battery (BME-HAL)' (string)
info.subsystem = 'unknown' (string)
info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme' (string)
maemo.charger.connection_status = 'disconnected' (string)
maemo.charger.type = 'none' (string)
maemo.rechargeable.charging_status = 'off' (string)
, so with only 87% charge level the battery reports full! Somehow that doesn't seem right...
