Determine mAh

You don't know what you're talking about. Testing capacity at high discharge rates exponentially enhances each and every coefficient of variation of apparent capacity with each and every physical variable upon which it depends. Your method is heavy-handed, imprecise, and more wishful thinking than anything else.

You are a fucking idiot. It is simple to set up capacity checking in a
lab. DC electronic loads are easy to build. It is a reference, an op
amp, and a fucking power fet. A comparator is used to turn off the cheap
mechanical clock. Doing two dozen tests at a time is no big deal if you
need the data. This is especially true when determining the
effectiveness of top off schemes.

Hi miso, I'm not sure what's idiotic about it. (I'll ignore the F-bomb)
This was for home/ hobby use. At the time my brother and I were doing a lot of (electric) RC car racing. Some battery packs would 'go bad'. And I'dtake 'em apart find the bad cells and then try and mix and match some 'new' packs. At the time I didn't have access to much automated test gear, so relatively crude home measurements were all I had. I think Phil's point was that this would also work for the OP... though I'm risking an outburst putting words in Phil's mouth.

It is OK to be a shitty engineer. But don't dis people that do it right,
just because you can't do it.

"I'm a physicist, damn it Jim, not an engineer."* It's my job to do it a bit wrong so the engineer can come fix it. (we both need a job after all. :^)

There's a misprint somewhere because OP said:

"My question was because someone is selling Vivitar batteries at 1900 Mah.

Vivitar's own site has no such battery. Only a 1000 Mah battery.

I can see another company making a higher capacity battery, but why is Vivitar's name on it?"

** FOAD you STINKING NUT CASE TROLL

Never post here again.

Or this NG will be sabotaged.

Really? You're going to dismantle the Internet because you don't like the
cut of someone's jib? Find your happy place or learn to use a killfile.

** Yep.

I've made a fresh batch of popcorn. Let the show begin.

I don't think it's any stupider than the rest of the futile pissing matches
that go on in this place.
You can piss off too.

You will not find peace outside of you until you can find it inside of you.
Namaste.
