Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to my app to make this any better if 
the battery is reporting an incorrect voltage like this.  You should report the 
issue to Asus, as they are the only ones with the ability to correct this.

I wanted to offer a more detailed explanation of what's going on here, since it 
seems manufacturers are still sometimes putting out devices with this problem.

Some devices report a useless whole number of volts rather than the whole 
number of millivolts.  For example, if the voltage is 4057 millivolts (which is 
4.057 volts), the device should report the number of millivolts as "4057". The 
devices with this issue instead report "4".  Since it's an integer value, 
there's no way to extract any extra information out of "4".  I can determine 
"Oh, you must mean volts, not millivolts", and report it as "4V", but then the 
voltage will always just show either "4V" or "3V", which seems kind of 
pointless.

So what I am going to do is this: when the voltage reported by the battery is 
clearly wrong, I just wont display the voltage in the notification.  I expect 
this to be in the next release, within a few weeks.
