mWH is correct, as the capacity of battery is mAH.

Thanks. I don’t know why I confused myself and I try to use the correct terminology. Was going to correct myself a second time but I didn’t think anyone read any of the few posts I made. I think I least got the numbers right.

No, it's the other way around. When we speak about capacity, we are talking about mWh. But you should have said mAh instead of mA And yes, you've got the numbers right.

Thanks for moving my last post, but ...

At the new location, I guess it is misleading, because it is out of context. It was really intended as a reply in exactly this thread in the Montana 7x0 forum. I just wanted to say that it probably generally leads to wrong results if we believe the pure theory and the capacity ratings (although I have done the measurements I mentioned using another device). In other words, I just referred to the behavior of another device to give a general answer to the OP's question in this thread.

Thank you very much, and best regards,
