Battery consumption for arming

Hello,

When I tested battery consumption, I noticed that battery is always 100% when the vehicle is arming stage. However, arming means turning on motors and consume the battery… I found https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/1434 that suggested better estimate of battery capacity when arming in 2014. Is there any progress related to the battery capacity? Thanks!

Using battery voltage as a measure of used/remaining capacity is unreliable.
