I begin to suspect that either something has changed with bq27200, or something has really changed with the newest batteries on the market. With nothing to lose, I've been testing that 1350mAh Scud (that's already been refunded).

My rationale here was that the manufacturing date on it was 20120730, or about one year newer than the 1420mAh Scud that I previously had in use. That was testing at 1283mAh, so I figured if the 1350 was understated and would yield ~1400mAh, it would do as a stopgap.

So, I charged to full, discharged through 2 days of normal use, stopping BME when I hit 6%, and killing the last of the power on a 3G call whilst waiting for EDV1. bq27200 reports an LMD of 1657mAh, and this is on a phone that was reporting 1283mAh yesterday. This is unprecedented, other than by yrannadx's experience.

Yet I'm talking about a different cell, from a different manufacturer, with a different notional capacity, in a different N900 that I've been using for just over 2 years with 2 different batteries (original and Scud 1420mAh) and it's never reported THAT before. dr_frost_dk, maybe you'd be so kind as to test your 1350mAh Scud after all? We can't both be going mad...
