And presumably not very old (upower reports that the 'full' value is the
same as the 'full-design' value). If the battery is OK then it would
seem that the system firmware is over-reporting the battery charge
level, and we might need a quirk to correct for that.
However, I don't see any similar quirk in the battery driver for any
other models, and this doesn't seem that likely to be a firmware bug as
this would be a problem for Windows power management as well. (And
there don't seem to be any firmware updates available for this model.)
Did you leave Windows installed, and if so can you check whether that
detects the nearly-empty battery properly?
