something is not right? is it fake ? or this battery will show 694 it's extended and it will work like 1500? Im not sure.
The figure quoted is basically rubbish.
It's reading the value of one resistor on the battery - _not_ the actual battery capacity.

The mugen battery - for example - also reads low - though in that case, as the resistor varies with temperature - the apparant capacity does too!

The simplest way is to do a rundown test.
Download flashlight.
Charge till green light goes on.
Turn flashlight on.
Wait till it shuts down. Time this.
Repeat with new battery.
