It is NOT ""error". It is not a mistake. Go to eBay. I mean actually GO THERE and see for yourself how many DIFFERENT vendors are marketing DIFFERENT li-ion packs as being 50K mah.
I pointed out months ago Chinese vendor's ABSURD claims of LED light bulb wattage. Not equivalence, actual device consumption. When I made individual contact-seller inquiries many vendors coughed up the actual milliamp consumption - a tiny fraction of advertised wattage. Other vendors offered eloquent explanation of how they No Speak The English.
Having operated a battery testing lab for many years makes me critical of false advertising. When it becomes - when it morphs into a cultural phenomenon it's time to throw out the yellow Caution Flag. The Chinese are dominating many items in the consumer market place. No competition. With zero monitoring and verification this can become dangerous. Not hazardous or inconvenient -DANGEROUS. How about CO alarms that say UL but aren't?
Got NEWWWWS for some of you. 12 Volt power bricks rated 84-watts with TWENTY FOUR GAUGE secondary wiring. I had one CATCH FIRE Sunday. The body of the brick had every consumer test lab clearance in the book including UL and CSA. The output line was FAT but the conductors were copper threads. I have NINE more bricks just like it.
