Battery charge/discharge cycles. The battery fuel gauge chip will count 
the capacity from full charge down to empty, and learn the battery's 
capacity. Due to the default settings, it takes about 4-5 such learning 
cycles before it learns the capacity correctly the first time. It's also 
actually a bit rare to have the chip learn capacity normally, because 
bme shuts down device before the threshold at which the chip considers 
the battery empty.

In any case, 29 means 29 charge/discharge cycles since the last cycle 
during which it could learn the battery capacity. 134 total 
charge/discharge cycles.

It gets reset if the battery is removed for a longer time.
