charge_full_design is usually bogus anyway. bq27000 on gta02 battery has a 
bogus value for that. On other phones/batteries the 3rd pin is used as BSI 
(battery size indicator) with a resistor or thermistor to ground. The 
resistance values also are not defined by any standard and no battery second 
source manuf adheres to them. So your best bet is to assume whatever you feel 
is reasonable for battery_full_design,  since by no means you can read out 
reliable reasonable values from hardware
