When a proper end-of-charge event is detected, the
device learns a new FullCAP register value based on
the RemCap
REP
output. If the old FullCAP value was too
high, it is adjusted downward after the last valid end-
of-charge detection. If the old FullCAP was too low, it is
adjusted upward to match RemCap
REP
. This prevents
the calculated state of charge from ever reporting a value
greater than 100%. See
