Re Battery, when you say it never reaches 100% what percent does it get to? 98% 99%

I'm wondering if the N900 is being over clever and recognising 'battery wear' and therefore never reporting full? For example battery bar on my netbook indicates I have lost 3% of my batteries original capacity due to wear, however my netbook still reports reaching 100% charge to the OS. Maybe the N900 (lshal|grep) reports actual capacity, just a thought.

Does the battery icon look 'Full' even when lshal indicates less?
