It's for calibration. The device isn't actually smart enough to know the capacity of the battery so when you first use it you will see the capacity probably drain much faster than expected.

Just use it enough to drain it under 5%, then charge it fully. You will find that the battery indicator will drain at the normal rate afterwards.
