battery status incorrect

I just noticed the same batter issue on my phone today.

I have a treo centro desktop dual charger / cradle. I took the fully charged battery off the charger and placed into my phone, after it powered back on i was trying to tab on time displayed over the top of the screen and next the battery. I hit the battery by mistake and noticed it was stating it was at 90% I then plugged the phone directly to the OEM home charger and then it fully charged to 100%

I have an extra treo centro battery charging and I'm going to see if its a battery or charger issue.

I'm going to use my treo centro phone to identify what is going on...bad battery...bad charger...or bad treo 800 read out!

It's my phone for sure...i've tried the test on different centro phones and with other batteries..

You've got to top it. It still charges some more for quite awhile once it turns green. You'll hear a beep & the little lightning charge logo on the end of the battery indicator turns a darker color & status will hit 100%. It can take quite awhile to reach 100%.
