Hello, SmartPack Kernel-Mamager shows information about the battery. But the capacity (4370 out of 4500mAh) has never changed. My phone was refurbished and had its battery changed. I am wondering if the capacity might be spoofed by the refurber.

I have seen this happening before on my phone.
Some apps detect a capacity of 4350 (Accubattery) while Samsung themselves state that the design capacity is 4500.
I haven’t done any battery change and still rock the genuine one it came with.
I don’t think it matters to be honest as long as you are sure the battery in your phone has the right capacity.
I think it’s normal to see some variation, I have an official Google replacement battery from ifixit, the marked capacity on the battery is 4050, in battery settings it says the design capacity is 4180, and my current capacity is 4042. Also accubattery says the design capacity is 4000.
If you’re worried I would use something like accubattery and let it take measurements for a week (while trying to discharge down to a few percent a couple times and also charging uninterrupted to 100%) and then see if the estimated battery capacity measures up to what you expect. If you get close to or above 4000 (would make it about 90%) then I think it should be fine. If it’s much less, then think about having it replaced.
The capacity shouldn’t change. Why would it?
battery degradation?
