[ltp] battery and capacity loss

[Karel Podvolecky]

Hi Riccardo,
   yes, go to service tell them about it. They will replace battery. I 
had similar problem, but capacity drop was to about 75% and they 
replaced it for free.

but before try to "reset" battery:
1) charge to full capacity
2) discharge (cat 1 > /sys/devices/platform/smapi/BAT0/force_discharge)
3) charge to full capacity

Is that change enytning?
