Public bug reported:

On a HP Compaq nc6220 using Jaunty RC (but also on Intrepid) the reported 
design capacity is wrong. The label on the battery reads ~56 Wh, while the 
reported design capacity goes down after every recharge, right now it is at:
r...@valentin-laptop:~# cat /proc/acpi/battery/C177/info 
present:                 yes
design capacity:         2046 mAh
last full capacity:      2046 mAh
battery technology:      rechargeable
design voltage:          10800 mV
design capacity warning: 103 mAh
design capacity low:     21 mAh
capacity granularity 1:  100 mAh
capacity granularity 2:  100 mAh
model number:            Primary
serial number:           00860 2008/02/16
battery type:            LIon
OEM info:                Hewlett-Packard

Which translates to roughly 2.046 Ah * 10.8 V = 22.1 Wh (the same as the
value reported by gnome-power-manager).

As you may have noticed, design capacity and last full capacity are
always equal, which should not happen on a 2 year old battery.
