I'm going to take an educated guess, and say that the chip is giving you an accurate answer about the status of the battery, based on what the manufacturer knows about their batteries. They deteriorate with time and usage, and it's taking that into account. Trying to fool things into behaving differently isn't likely to improve how well the battery works. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
