In AW's sales thread and in the specs for the new 2600mAh batteries listed also by Lighthound, I read:
Capacity : 2600mAH ( rated at 0.2C discharge 4.2V - 2.8V @ 25°C)
On the other hand, in the Pila IBC charger compendium, I read that a Li-ion @3.6V is "empty for practical purposes", and below 3.5V it is over-discharged.
How come the capacity is measured by discharging a cell down to 2.8V, i.e. to a point where it is probably dead? Also, shouldn't the protection circuit trigger well before reaching this value?
