Why do all my Mavic 3 Intelligent Batteries only charge to about 4500 mah

Why do all my mavic 3 Intelligent flight batteries only charge to around 4500 or less on all my differant batteries?
Can someone help me Does anybody know that can tell me?

Is that the amount that is added during the charging cycle or the total that the batteries are charged to?

My 8500mAh batteries for my drones usually only need 3500mAh to 4500mAh to recharge from storage level. That is where my batteries end up after a flight. I never take them to a low battery warning unless there is a reason I can’t land at the time and place of my primary landing zone and have to divert to a secondary or tertiary site.

4500mAh is 90% of 5000mAh... so seems like you fly them to around 10%, which seems likely (but really risky). You will only be able to charge in 5000mAh if you drain the batteries completely.

Over time & use the batteries will slowly lose capacity & will no longer be able to hold those 5000mAh specified.

How are you measuring the charged capacity of your battery?
How old is the battery?
How many times has it been charged?

Batteries deteriorate with use and their capacity is reduced.
I just checked one of my oldest Mavic 3 batteries - about 2.5 years old and 101 charge cycles.
At 100% it's capacity is now 4433 mAh.

They are all brand new with less than 10 charges some have 1 charge and the charger sais they all get to around 4500

So what is your charger measuring... how many mAh that the charger have delivered to the battery..? or does your charger measure the present total capacity of the battery?

If it's delivered mAh during the charge cycle... 4500mAh sounds normal if the battery is around 10% when you put it on the charger. The battery needs to be totally empty for the charger to be able to deliver 5000mAh.

Unlike the Phantom 4 Pro batteries, that when new, actually exceeded the rated mAh by as much as 300 mAh, brand new fully charged Mavic 3 batteries have never come even close to their rated 5,000 mAh. The highest I have ever seen was one at 4700mAh, with most right at 4500 mAh, among over a dozen new batteries. I suspect DJI will not allow them to be fully charged to prevent the battery swelling so common with all the Mavic 2 batteries when fully charged to their rated capacity.
