Hey Guys .
One of my customer test my original Panasonic 3100mAh with IMAX -B6 .But ,it show just about 2500mAh.I test with my device which show about 2950mAh
Which cause the result 2500mah?
I guess problem caused by wrong connect way.Dose it right ?Below is the customer test connect way.

BTW ,There is other customer test SANYO 2600mAh and Samsung 2600mah just with 2000mah with the same test equipment IMAX -B6.
First off, that’s not a ‘real’ IMAX B6, it’s a fake. The fakes have substandard electronic components and often poor assembly. I don’t think they can be trusted.
Second, it’s critical HOW you test. The battery needs to be fully charged, then discharged at ~ 1/5 of capacity. In this case I would use 0.5A, no higher.
Use the wrong settings, get bad results.
Hi ,Thanks for your reply .
Could you please tell me that How do you know this charger is the fake one?
There are a a lot of the fakes. They are cheaper, people buy them off eBay in droves. If it was not bought from a legitimate source, it’s likely fake. People don’t even know they are buying fakes, but that’s the whole purpose of the fakes, right?
Some look pretty good and are hard to tell. Some may actually work OK. The pictured one is lighter blue (faded unless the picture is poor), and the printing doesn’t look right. To be actually sure you need to do more digging.

Important note: There are LOTS and LOTS of this style of charger. ALL of them are ‘clones’ of the original Bantam. They use the same firmware and software and mostly work the same. There is a REAL IMAX B6 that makes a decent clone. The FAKES are substandard counterfeits trying to pretend they are a real IMAX. I have a decent clone called the Accucell-6 that looks similar (same screen, same buttons, same functions, but has a small cooling fan).
Do not get clone confused with fake/counterfeit. It seems most people do.
Also the end voltage influence the results. 3.0V is a good and safe end voltage that also often is used as low voltage protection trigger voltage in many flashlights.
But some batteries can safely deliver current down to a voltage below 3.0V. Especially Panasonic cells. For instance Panasonic NCR18650B can be discharged to 2.5Volts. And the capacity is typically specified for the full safe range of the specific cell.
So if you want to check if the manufacturers specs are correct, use the end voltage the manufacturer specify as safe for that specific cell, not 3.0V because that is safe for most cells.
check battery leads. resistance due to poor contact will result lower capacity.
it happens to me many times.
