Would've responded in half the time, except I lost my post because the geniuses designing firefox (and all browsers, really) manage to come up with keyboard shortcuts for Back and Forward that are way too easy to accidentally hit while typing.

I was hoping you knew where that thread was, but that's fine, I'm sure I'll be able to find it once I have the time to search for it (assuming it exists, but I like to give people benefit of the doubt, and what you said is within realm of likely possibilities).

I know, and have no idea why you think that modifies what I said at all.

AA batteries? I am confused by you using this term, because at least among lay-persons, AA battery refers to those absurdly common cylindrical batteries. Is that what you're talking about? If so, then I have no idea what bearing it has to do on this. If you're talking about N900 batteries, then I have no idea why you called them "AA batteries". Is there some technical battery-specialist term I am unaware of here?

Hah, I would love to know what you think it was that I "wanted to read".

There's a pretty simple fact that is found in the first post, and requires no wanting, to find: most third party batteries inflated their numbers, and the ones claiming to be in the 2000+mAh levels, were often the ones with atrocious real capacity. Moral of the story: battery manufacturers often lie about their battery capacities.

That is the ONLY fact that is relevant to my claim that I don't consider it reasonable to trust a battery manufacturer until their battery has been tested. By all means, explain to my how anything else said in dr_frost_dk's work negates that general point (note, that if you understood my post, you'd know I didn't say that it was impossible for the battery in the original post to be 2450mAh or whatever, just that I would find that claim untrustworthy from an unknown battery manufacturer).

I'm not the one that has made any claims, really, aside from "battery manufacturers often lie about what their battery capacities are", which is pretty much a documented reality.

Nor did I say anything at all about the possibility of a "10A" battery for the N900 - so I'm not sure where you got that from. My initial post contained two things: A. I wanted to know where you got the 1280/1290mAh (you stated both numbers, not sure if typo, or what) charging cap number, and (completely unrelated) B. I don't recommend trusting the battery manufacturer to report the accurate maximum capacity.
