My changes prevent to calculate anything (needless) if chargeLevel is < 0 (if 
you get such values the ACPI implementation in your BIOS is more than only a 
littlebit broken!). 

In this case and if the battery reports 'isDischarging && isCharging' you 
should do nothing and return -1. And this is what my patch do: check first 
all bad cases and then do something.

Cheers,

Danny
