I would like to attempt a Middleton BIOS update to ThinkPad X61 and understand that I need a fully charged battery, but I'm not sure what 'fully charged' means, ie will an old fully charged battery suffice? How much charge should it have?

Fully charged means just that, 100% charged. I don't have any hard evidence to back it up, but I think that if a battery pack still has more than half of its original capacity, it's considered as "good".

It doesn't have to be fully 100%, 80 or 90% is fine. It's just a fail safe so that if you lose power during the operation you don't end up with a brick.
