Slow charges can mess up the discharge profile used by the battery monitor.
For more than you ever wanted to know about battery management and an explanation of why the battery monitor is not like a car's fuel gauge, see the following article and others at the same website.

This is what I do. I let it drop to charge level twice a month and charge it around 45% to 60% other times. The battery has always been accurate. I've always gotten 3 days from a single charge till 6.3.
