I feel like I've been charging it all day and it is topping out at 87% or so.
Was curious what other Pyra batteries are doing.
Only need to see 3-4 other Pyras, so don't need everyone to do this. If you think yours is weirder than other results, happy to see those.
 
I can try to post my batterie results , maybe on my next video tomorrow,
But if I remember correctly, the Batteries aren’t charged 100 % anyway to awoid damage, Other Company’s also aren’t charge full but set the 100 % when it’s actually 90 %
The Pandora/Pyra Batterie Indicator is just honest ^^
 
Here is mine

seems very similar...the only difficulty i have is reach a full charging this days (temps where i live are high) so it never reach full.
Also the SOC are consuming too much energy so is difficoult to reach full charge i think.
 
I think I can post some „screenshots“

Hadn't booted up mine in a good while, but seems like the battery hardware can't make up its mind. Here's 3 sample queries:

I'll let it charge now and see what happens.
The temperature values seem fishy to me too though. I held that thing in my hand shortly before the query. Surely wasn't anywhere near 38°C.

Edit:
Here's one after charging to full, then letting it sit for almost a day (turned off). Looks like the most valid one of the bunch, even the temperature makes sense now.

Thanks everyone. I think that is enough data. I was worried about the capacity value of my battery but it seems I'm not the only one.
Very interesting to see that variety.
It'll be nice to have this information in the future to see how the batteries are performing in 3-5 years.

For what it's worth, my Pandora battery is at 87.47% of design capacity (according to Pandora System Info, no upower on there). Admittedly it didn't see much use in the recent years either, but it's still an 11 year old device with the battery probably a little bit older stock than that as well.
The batteries are pretty good I'd say. iirc it's the same manufacturer for Pyra batteries. All of them are a couple of years old already too.
