Summary

The Battery information shows a lot of redundant and confusing information, making
it hard to get the information you're interested in at a glance. In particular,
"Capacity" is confusing because for me it's always 100%, contradicting other info
displayed there. And the "last full" and "full design" always display the same values.
I have removed them, and improved the total capacity text.

I think what Capacity means is how worn out your battery has become. Yours can still take the full charge so it's at 100% (jealous).

All this info is useful for me, for instance, because I have a shoddy battery and I check up on this data from time to time.

I check up on Full Design to track precise wear, and the Capacity is also pretty standard info and useful.

17.33 / 32.01 = 0,54 * 100 = 54 %

Please don't remove that info, it's useful for me.

Ah OK. I had a feeling someone would complain and explain what all the extra info was for. I'll come up with some changes that preserve this information when it's relevant, and clean up the display.
