Default What's this number on my AC6 charger screen?

The number under the voltage? Is it how many milliamps it's put "into" the battery?

Because its a 4000mAh battery but the first time I charged it this number didn't get to 4000 when it was done charging.

If it is like my charger, that is the ma's it put into the battery. You will never put in the same amount of ma's as the battery is rated for unless the battery was completely dead and actually took a charge. You will only replace what was depleted from the battery.

^^ that's what I thought but I wanted some confirmation as the chinglish manual says its "charged capacity". Which I guess makes sense...

Overall I do like the AC6.

Well I must have drained it more than I thought...charger reporting that it charged 3800+ mAh. Balance seems good too.

1-The charger will report what was put back in.
2-The pack "may" get more than listed capacity back in......may be due to multiple cycles on the pack.
3-You may see less that "full charge" if a max charge time is set in the charger (the charger times out...usually 120 minutes/2 hrs) and you have to restart the charge.

The ac6 is a reliable charger but the numbers aren't always accurate
