This problem has been really bugging me, with no solution posted anywhere on forums. I spent forever trying to figure out a way to fix the Force Close battery problem; "com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly..."
I found a solution; at least I think so (it could just be a coincidence):
1. Download
Super Battery by tobyyaa.
2. Install it
3. Charge with it open (or maybe not even, I haven't tried any other way):
4. When its done, unplug it with Super Battery still open.
5. Close out of Super Battery (via back key or home button)
6. Now try out the android battery monitor --> it should work now, and keep working!
7. The only drawback so far is it seems that super battery might actually drain the battery according to the android battery monitor (but I don't think its really accurate, because my battery is running really well, better than it ever has before; I think that maybe it displays this because the program was open when I was charging)
All Glory To The Hypnotoad!
