It shows how bme is doing microcycling to keep battery at 100%. According to datasheets of various battery charger chips and also to information from a LiIon cell manufacturer I received during my time at OM, this might not be exactly the ideal thing to do to a cell, regarding longevity and wear minimization. LiIon cells don't like to be charged continuously, and I'd consider a pause of 2 minutes to be close to irrelevant to distinguish this scheme from continuous charging. Notibly bme does 'the right thing' directly after finishing the initial charging

Note that this microcycling scheme only kicks in when system power consumption is low enough, otherwise too much current adds on top of that charging current shown by bq27200, and thus bq24150 charger chip's charge end threshold never triggers and charging continues infinitely. See http://wiki.maemo.org/User:Joerg_rw/jrbme/bme_chargefloat_log for an example

* 21:35 - charging complete and stopped, starting to discharge cell. That's actually recommended way to treat cells
