Battery question

My brand new 6 cell (92P1139)

Designed Capacity: 56.16 Wh
Full Charge Capacity: 55.96 Wh

Is this normal? I thought full charge should be equal to designed?

Sleep mode

I could not turn my t61p on after I put it into sleep mode yesterday. I had to shut it down by holding down power button.
