what do you mean by caliberating battery ?

you can try hwtool
http://ezxdev.org/qtopia/motod/hwtool.24.01.09.bz2
you will need Ekonsole to execute commands....

Okay I have eKonsole installed and moved the file in the root of SD... then, what are the commands to do?

well if you have transferred hwtool to root of SD now open up Ekonsole
type
cd /mmc/mmca1
chmod +x hwtool
./hwtool
this will show you help menu of hwtool that what commands you can use ... basically you will be using
./hwtool -b (Battery status)
./hwtool -c 5 7 (charging the battery)
./hwtool -C 5 7 (charging the battery with trickle method)
I don't know if this thing really means calibrating or not but this can be used to test battery charging with multiple current values

Hmm no.. this is not calibrating.

Calibrating means a process that "reset" the battery. This process delete all the unnecessary files and can increase the performance of the battery.

It's like wiping the battery (instead of firmware/rom)

Example: I use "Battery calibration" on my Nexus One (Android) after a full charge.
