Matthias Grob b87c5285e2 battery: weigh voltage based estimate more when it's low
This is a minimal change to make it harder to crash a
vehicle with an empty battery if the capacity was set wrong.

The disadvantage is that the state of charge estimate will
fluctuate more under load.

We need better documentation and improvements to the estimation.
