This is a combination of issues:

1) It (apparently) stops charging too soon. Did you check the battery voltage in the debug screen? If not, please try to repeat this again and note the voltage. Preferrably write down all parameters in the debug screen.

2) The power level shown after boot is *much* too low. This is a known problem and I've been fiddling with a few changes to remedy this but it's not ready yet. With the current CVS code, allow 3-5 minutes for the battery meter to rise to a more accurate level.
