Battery level vs raw battery level

Hi dev community,

I was just digging a bit into androids handling of batteries (as it is acting really weird, currently. It only changes the battery level on reboots, I think) and saw, that htc differentiates between a battery level and a raw battery level.

I could find this in the following places:

• Code:

  ---

  grep Percentage /sys/class/power/power_supply/battery/batt_attr_text

  ---

• Code:

  ---

  grep level_raw arch/arm/mach-msm/htc_battery_8960.c

  ---

  in xboxfanj's kernel (BTW yes, I know, it is a bit awkward that this is only in the htc_battery_8960.c and not in the htc_battery.c file. But the raw percentage gets definitely printed out on my device)

The raw percentage seems to be a bit lower than the percentage. What are the differences between them and is there some UI utility to show these battery infos?
