New Eufy cameras: 98% and 92% battery health? (Eufy SoloCam S340)
Hi everyone,
I just bought two brand new Eufy battery-powered cameras and noticed something strange. I’m using an older version of the Eufy desktop app where “Max Capacity” is still visible. This does not show in the latest Eufy app on my iPhone.
One camera shows 98% max capacity, and the other shows 92%, even though both are brand new. The 92% one is fully charged to 100%, but the max capacity still says 92%.
Is this normal for new Eufy battery cameras? Are these numbers reliable, or could the old desktop app be reading/calculating it incorrectly? There is currently a temporary discount/campaign on these cameras, so I’m wondering if this could be old stock being cleared out.
Would you exchange the 92% unit, or just keep it and use it? It feels a bit low for a brand new camera, but maybe it calibrates after a few charge cycles. What do you think?

*I exchanged the first two cameras today, then bought two new ones from another store. Both of those also show 92% max capacity.
So now I’m wondering if the value is inaccurate, or if these cameras have also been sitting in storage for a long time. It seems unlikely that four brand new units would all have degraded batteries, especially when two of them show exactly 92%.
