With the version of today, I get nice results for the battery, though I experienced the same you did. But as fas as I could see this behaviour only takes place, if I run smartbattery repeatedly with a very short delay. If I only run it from time to time, it seems to be decreasing normally. What I also experienced is, that it takes some time (not too long) when plugging in the AC adapter until smartbattery shows the time to be full (and some other information). Immediately I can see three values, but not all that are normally shown. Sorry, I can't remember which and I'm currently at another machine.
