battery... the charger rightly decided the battery was full and stopped
charging, then the GSM unit is eating 10mA direct from battery. I guess
after some interval the charger will see if it should charge again.

autores = 1 from the dump => supposed to restart charging at 96% of
vbatmax. vbatmax (reg 0x44) is defined as 4.0 V. So, it expects vbat to
come to 3.84 V - which might never happen ? Seeing the specs - table 93 -
we can increase the value of vbatmax upto 4.3 V ? Can it be useful here ?
