To be more precise:

NetBSD 1.6ZE (HP) #71: Sat Nov  1 20:52:48 GMT 2003
% envstat -r 
    acpiacad0 connected
       acpibat0 present

       acpibat0 low cap:      0.200 Ah ( 7.24%)

    acpibat0 design cap:     59.200 Wh
       acpibat0 lfc cap:     40.907 Wh (69.10%)

So before it was "energy" not "charge" (sounds good - normally you wait
for the battery to finish charging);
"acpibat0 last full cap"/"acpibat0 design cap"*100 was printed in brackets
after "acpibat0 last full cap" (which could come back - you know when to
throw your battery away);
and Ah instead of Wh seems like an improvemnt.
