If I'm reading that right, it thinks that the battery has degraded and
can only hold ~0.4% of its original capacity, but also that it's
charged to the point where it's holding ~55% of the original capacity,
thus leaving it thinking that the battery is ~13x above max capacity.

That may be just the battery controller being wrong?

it stayed on for >1hr on battery power while i puttered around, didn't try to run it all the way down.

IIRC, after swapping the battery in my T420s, I had to do a full battery
discharge/charge cycle (drain to 0%, charge to 100%, drain to 0%, charge
to 100%) to get the battery controller to realize that the capacity had
increased.

probably should have mentioned, battery status is reported correctly in openbsd.

In aux/acpi.c try replacing (batteryread func only) bats[n].fullcharge with b->capacity.

i did this:

 				state = "charging";
 			if(st.rate > 0 && (st.state & 2) == 0)
 				ss = st.capacity * 3600 / st.rate;
-			if(bats[n].fullcharge > 0){
-				x = st.capacity * 100 / bats[n].fullcharge;
+			if(b->capacity > 0){
+				x = st.capacity * 100 / b->capacity;
 				if(st.rate > 0 && (st.state & 2) != 0)
-					ss = (bats[n].fullcharge - st.capacity) * 3600 / st.rate;
+					ss = (b->capacity - st.capacity) * 3600 / st.rate;
 			}
 		}else{
 			memset(&st, 0, sizeof(st));

and i get this:

; mk acpi.install
6l  -o 6.acpi acpi.6
cp 6.acpi /amd64/bin/aux/acpi
; aux/acpi
; cat /dev/battery

after a cold boot with the test code it seemed everything was now working normally.

but every cold boot produces wildly different numbers for the first field:

389
619
103

then it increments (when plugged in) or decrements (when unplugged) roughly
as expected.

Can you try killing aux/acpi, starting a new one and checking if there is any difference?
Maybe it should query all of the battery info every single time.

the first time i did this, the readings looked more or less accurate.

did it again, and now the readings are definitely wrong again.

Ah. Might be a bug in our ACPI library, then?
