I have wondered the same thing Jeff. I use the sb989 and have used it for nihm and lipos for over a year. I've never seen the mah reading on the charger to be close to what the pack is capable of. Really stopped paying attention to that part since I don't know what it is telling me. I pay attention to the volts but haven't understood what the mah reading on the charger after the battery is done charging.

For example I just got done charging a FP 4s 5000 lipo that wasn't used much last time so just topped it off. The charger has 16.77volt and 1468mah on the display. Is it telling me that out of 5000mah only 1468mah was used last time/or it took 1468mah to "refill" the lipo up to the 5000 again?
