While I agree in principle, the whole 'cell thing' is a relatively consistent measure of the batteries capacity even if it's not exact. As an indicator of battery life, though, this X130 just goes to show that neither measurement (cell or Watt hours) can tell you enough on its own.





As for mAh, I wouldn't say there's any wool being pulled any which way. mAh is the traditional measure of a batteries capacity and there are good reasons as to why this convention has come about. Yes, you do also need to know the voltage to know the total energy stored but most of the time you do so its not a problem.
