Root Weird battery thing

I am charging my phone and just a second ago it was at 48%. It then rebooted for no reason, but when it finished rebooting it now says it is at 69%. Any reason why this would happen?
 
I'm actually charging it to do a calibration, I didn't know about that until today (I flashed CM a couple weeks ago now). Hopefully that will fix whatever it was.
 
I have a spare battery and whenever i swap the new one in it reads at 69% for a few minutes and then goes up to 100. Or if i reboot like you it takes a few minutes to read correctly. I'm using a galilio 2000 mah battery.
 
I get that with my after market batteries as well. Calibrating helps, but it'll still do it. Won't hurt anything.
 
when wiping the stats, its kind of like recalibrating the battery to a degree. you can also do the same thing by using this app:[APP] Battery Calibration - EASIEST WAY! - Version 1.2 (10th April, 2011) - xda-developers.

I still believe if you're going to recalibrate the battery it's better to do it Cyanogen's way

Charge to full 100%
While still being plugged in, boot to recovery and wipe battery stats
Reboot
Unplug phone from charger
Drain phone completely, 0%, till the phone turns off
Plug phone back into charger
Wait until 100%, fully charged, unplug phone

(Sense roms green light comes on at 100%, AOSP roms green light comes on at 90%, so keep it on charger for an extra hour;))
