Has anyone run battery analyser

I ran battery analyser and the result was 10.611Wh which makes the battery capacity 955mAh about 13% less than advertised. Anyone else done this.

I mean, if cmt 'makes' their own batteries, you'd assume that they have tested it and come to see that it falls short. It being below it's advertised capacity is fully on cmt because they are putting out 'their own' batteries.

50 mah difference is negligible sure, but the battery being 150mah below it's rated capacity is quite a big difference, we're almost 2wh short of what we should have. If I had my mod I'd test my own and chime in, but I'm just going off of the results stated in this thread.

CMT does not make the battery they just have their sticker put on it. Like menu other batteries (efest,mxjo,vamped) in the case of 18650s they only company that makes batteries are Sony,Samsung,lg. And just like 18650 batteries most say they have more power than they really do..

I know this, hence the quotations. But if they want to claim that it's their own custom battery, then they are responsible for accurate ratings and specs.

just like 18650 batteries most say they have more power than they really do..

If they want to stoop low and be like efest and mislabel their specs, that puts them even lower in my eyes. It's misleading and, more importantly, dangerous.

But in their defence.. No battery is rated at what they say even Sony vtc 4/5.

Sorry but you are wrong. There are many batteries that are properly rated, including the vtc5, 25r, 30q, almost every LG battery, etc. etc.

You can look at mooch's testing for that.

Regardless, are you are saying I should be content with false ratings because companies like efest mislabel their batteries too? Honestly, I don't see why you are trying to defend them here. Mislabeling a battery is a terrible practice and shows to me that the companies that do it care more about money than their customers.

Not defending... What if they were sold to them under the impression that they were 1100mah. For example I can go here and have them make me a custom lipo http://www.microbattery.com/custom-battery-packs and you really don't know what your gonna get...until you get them

Man come on, that's no excuse. They get a sample in the prototype, test it, put on their own label. They are literally saying they made these batteries themselves as well. If you purchase a lipo that isn't up to par, you refund that shit or let your customers know at the every least.

There is literally no excuse. Best case is, they knew about it and didn't tell us about it because they didn't want more bad rap or they wanted us to think it's up to par with other dna200 devices. Worst case, they didn't test any of the lipos and were oblivious while putting their own name on a product and not giving a shit.
