Help Weird Battery Charge?

So my battery died after a good amount of usage and travel (going in and out of 3g/4g) So it said that it was at 0 percent and died. Later, I drive home for a 10 minute drive and plug it in. By the time I check it is is back at 35%. I know the battery does not charge that fast, especially with the car charger. Has anyone else seen this? Maybe my battery wasn't calibrated properly.


Sorry for the lengthy explanation, but its weird.

Here are screen shots of my battery usage.

I have had this happen to me on quite a few occasions - especially after flashing new roms. I must admit though, I've never let the charge die completely. But when it has drained down to the last few percent and then put on charge it will jump anywhere as high as 60-70%
It can be easily fixed by fully charging and then some, and then booting into recovery - wipe battery stats.
 
It seems like your battery is just being calibrated. I've experienced the same phenomenon (?) with mine magically gaining 4-5% charge several times.
