Battery stats show incorrect battery cell size

A

AC Question

I went into the battery usage details and looked at how much battery the screen was using; 48% or 224 mAH. At this point I had 75% battery, so I took half of the 25% that was used, which is 12.5%. If 12.5% of total battery capacity is 224 mAH, then the total battery capacity is 1792mAH?!?!?! That makes no sense at all, since my LG V10 has a 3000mAH cell, and even if there were errors it should not have been off by 40%.

Is there a reason for this, or do I need to recalibrate my battery or something?

I don't use the battery stats as a solid way of measuring battery capacity or use, more of a general idea of what's going on. If my normal use pattern is using 50% of my battery by 9 hours off the charger, and I consistently hit that, I don't have any problems. If I have a lower reading at the same time is when I start looking into why. And by then, I am looking at apps or other conditions that aren't normally high on the battery stats.
