 		 #173492 - The battery is dead - the numbers are meaningless
Responding to: ???'s previous message
At 6 years old, that battery is almost certainly dead.

That means that the numbers you're getting from the battery management are, essentially, meaningless.

As I said before, the numbers are based on the assumption that your battery is healthy - as it is not, they are not.

Again, this is typical behaviour for an exhausted battery.
