Do you think your driver can be used to reset battery pack state?

I replaced the cells in my Toshiba battery pack, but the "last full
capacity" is still stuck at the value from the old cells, and the
"remaining capacity" seems to get clamped to this low value. I heard
that it might be possible to reset this using i2c.
