   To be fair... My experience is that you still get useful power out of   
   the "moderately" large batteries like your 4AH as opposed to 5AH.  It   
   just may not be "as powerful."  Where you see huge differences in base   
   power even over a very very short time is the smaller batteries.  Often   
   the "cheap" batteries packaged with an all in one kit.   
   Tool/battery/charger...  They don't give you full power for a short   
   time.  They just don't give you full power at all.

   If you could access the electrical circuit a PZEM-051 meter would give you   
   all the useful data. For under $20 they measure DC up to 100V and 100A,   
   calculate the power and the total energy in Watt-hours.
