SkyRC MC3000 "capacity" Reading - Conflicting Info

[terryoregon]

I've had the SkrRC for a week now (latest version), and for the 1st time did a refresh (capacity) test. There seems to be a conflict on how the main unit, app, and PC link are reporting "capacity". The example below is for a 5,000mah Powerex C Cell.

When the refresh test is completed, the main unit shows both the:

"capacity": 4817mah
and
"charged": 5183mah



.
OK, I understand the difference between charged/discharged capacity, nothing unusual there.

However, both the PC link and app show "capacity" as the higher value - what the main unit is calling "charged".

Would this not be confusing? It appears the main unit is defining "capacity" as the discharged capacity, and the app/PC Link are defining it as the charged capacity.

Shouldn't there be consistency between main unit, app, PC Link?

After more observation, I now see that the app and PC Link are showing the results of the last phase of the 3-part test (C/D/C), in other words the charge portion. I think it would have been better if the app and PC Link labeled it "charge capacity" or "C capacity" for clarity.

Edit update: Found this issue discussed by someone who noted exactly the same thing HERE:

So what gives with the reporting of capacity on this charger?

I ran a refresh cycle overnight on 4 batteries: 2 AAA Eneloops and 2 18650 LiIons.

Slot 1: Eneloop AAA
Charger reported capacity 742 mAh
iPhone app reported capacity 867 mAh

Slot 2: Eneloop AAA
Charger reported capacity 767 mAh
iPhone app reported capacity 906 mAh

Slot 3: LiIon 18650
Charger reported capacity 3153 mAh
iPhone app reported capacity 3125 mAh

Slot 4: LiIon 18650
Charger reported capacity 3086 mAh
iPhone app reported capacity 3069 mAh

Also, from one of the MC300 developers in that thread:

Whatever the LCD displays is the correctest. Correcter than PCLS (a software which sometimes fails to log the very last 4-6sec of a test run, missing in the CSV dump) and correcter than APP. The LCD is your friend. She doesn't lie.
