Hoax, sadly, without any offense to you. This reported capacity doesn't have anything to do with real one.

BME Alternative is, in fact, taking voltage report from BME, and appending dr_frost_dk's algorithm to calculate remaining % of charge. If doesn't have anything to do with capacity readings (mAh), and probably, you got this 660mAh/710mAh due to resistor between BMI and battery (-). This particular battery must use strange one, there, instead of 100kOhm regular.

What I suspect, is that it's - at best - regular 1300 mAh one. It gives good results, compare to your old battery, which must have low amount of capacity left at max (probably, real is less than 1000).

If, by any chance,you're interesting in measuring capacity of your new battery in reliable way, see my signature - one of links there forward you to instruction, how to do it on-device, using bq27x00 chip, present on N900.
