Sadly, impossible, due to physical constraints of energy amount, that you can store in given volume of space, using LiIon technology. That is why I've called it hoax.

Honestly, I'm not much interested in buying another, unchecked battery - especially, if it advertise 2050 mAh, which usually means "stay away"... But, of course, you're absolutely free to perform on-device measurements, as I've suggested in my last post. It's not only free, but it's *more* than free - in fact, while doing so, you would educate yourself quite a much about some internals of your device (and it's usage) and system. All gain...

*chuckles* No, it doesn't. N900 will charge battery to the very end, be it 500 mAh or 50 000 mAh. It's just that capacity of your battery is totally faked, like in previous example.
