Need, no.

But it logs what N900 "sees" as battery level and allows you to see how it falls. It would be extremely helpful in determining if there's problem in detecting voltage, charging, drain, etc.

I'd do it, but no, it's not needed, nor does it solve your problem. It MIGHT help.

Set light to minimal, cover the light sensor to lower light to minimum (optional), let battery-eye run and remove the plug.

As you say, it should keep running. After a while, say, an hour, run battery-eye and see what it said. See if the graph is descending like it should (could screen-shoot it and post, Ctrl+Shift+P to do a shot, it's in ~/.images/screenshots IIRC).

Then turn off the backlight. If it goes black and non-responsive, let it do that a while (maybe an hour), then boot it. Battery-eye should let you know if there is a great drain, of the battery signals low or anything like that.

Don't know if that will help, but a battery signaling "OMG" will power the device instantly and have it refuse to boot until plugged.

i have a very normal battery graph.
now im sure that the phone turns off when it's locked and when the screen goes dark, then i have to turn it back on.
