> reporting power consumption in mA is used in industry, so it's useful to report. You are not partially wrong. You are 100% wrong. Learn to accept feedback now or you will learn later when the stakes are higher. Or, seen from a customer's perspective: If this company is as stubborn and misguided about this, how much more of reality are they unwilling to allow in? Why shouldn't I go with a vendor who faces reality? AmpHours are not the same thing as reporting milliAmps. And neither one is power consumption. And neither one is useful for estimating power consumption. And don't bother looking for counter examples. That would be like showing me someone who said, "I drove three volts to work this morning." As far as your second paragraph, it demonstrates an extremely sparse knowledge of electronic engineering. Yes, you kind of have some things kind of right, but not enough to communicate or make important decisions. I would highly advise you to take on a seasoned electrical engineer stat. For example, you say "it's utter nonsense to think that the only rating you need to know would be Joules," but do you realize by only giving current you're doing the same or worse? This is all neverminding the entire dimensions of time and the long-term implications of those two things junior electrical engineers always screw up: heat and vibration.
