 From what little I know and can share, I believe your operations 
above reset your 'Book's power management settings, which can become 
corrupt and misrepresent your battery's readings. There exist some 
information regarding this circumstance on Apple's support pages. 
Keep monitoring your battery and let us on the list know your 
observations.

Cheers,
Brett
