Meh I don’t know; took my daughter’s phone in for a new battery. Came out on same battery max capacity percentage as it went in. He argued “it takes a while to go up”, I argued that a proper chipped battery would show up immediately.

We didn’t agree and I got some money back. But it all felt pretty sketchy tbh.

It could have been a software thing, the max capacity of batteries are decided by the driver header file, and these have been known to be wrong as Pixel 4a users found out when Google clobbered their battery life overnight
