Default Excess Capacity

Hopefully one of our boffins can answer this little poser? I have a 30c 2700mah lipo, and it has been balance charging at 1.5amps for a little over 3hrs, however my B6 charger indicates that it has so far juiced it with 2961mah I've only used this particular batt a couple of times, and all seems in order after using it. I do have another of the same type / capacity / dimensions and I'm pretty sure this charged within its capacity but I will double check the next time I fly.

My questions is, does this indicate an obvious problem with the lipo, or maybe the manufacturer stuck the wrong label on

Wouldn't worry about it...seen the same myself, had no issues with the batteries.

I've got the B6, and it's one of my favourite things (love the blue finish!). The readout for applied charge doesn't seem to make any sense to me either, but as long as the cells all end up at 4.19/4.20V I'm content. I wouldn't worry
