using different sets of batteries with DNA

The battery bar won't be totally accurate when you switch between different capacity batteries but that's fine.

Why do you say that the battery meter will not be accurate with different batteries? 2 different fully charged married sets should both read 100% when installed. I use a married set of 2500 mAh & 300mAh batteries in my MOD's all the time and the battery meters work just fine. The only difference is the run time I get out of the two.
With the DNA200 and 250 chips you setup the watt hour of the battery pack in Escribe. If you've set up the watt hours to correspond to two 3000 mAh batteries the battery meter won't be accurate when using two 2500 mAh batteries (and vice versa). This naturally applies if you've set up a discharge curve as well. The discharge curve for one set won't be the same as the curve for a different set. It won't affect the actual battery life, only the accuracy of the battery pack. Note that this affects mods using the DNA 200 and 250 chips (so two-battery DNA 133 and 166 mods as well), not mods using the DNA 75 chip.

I looked at my older version of eScribe and the new version and I do not see the watt hours in the settings. Where is this you are talking about?
I see in the device monitor that it reads the mWh but I do not see a way to change it.
Choose "Options", "User Interface", and "Manufacturer". In that mode you'll see options for battery type and capacity in Wh, as well as a Watt hour calculator and much more in the Mod tab.

Please post a screen shot of what you are seeing because I do not see it when I click on manufacturer and are you talking about in Device manager?
Can't post a screenshot as I'm on Tapatalk, but here's a photo.

OK, thanks for posting that but that has nothing to do with accuracy of the battery meter it is the discharge profile. At least now I understand what part of the eScribe you were talking about.
The discharge profile does definitely have to do with the accuracy of the battery meter. However, what I'm pointing to is the page itself (and how to make it visible), and the watt hour setup on it.

@KenD I still have to disagree that the Battery Meter in the device will still be accurate as it is reading the battery state of charge and the part of the eScribe software you pointed is for advanced profiles and does affect what is basically a volt meter function.
Read up on how the DNA200 battery meter functions. It's not like on most other chips. It's based on the watt hour of the battery pack so inputing the correct watt hour setting (and preferably the correct battery curve).

When I just put 2 sets of fully charged married 2500 mAh and 3000 mAh batteries in my DNA 200 they both read 100%
Why would it not read what the current state of the battery is? The discharge profile is how it discharges and nothing to do with how it reads current voltage level.
How about pulling out where it says the meter will not read the voltage correctly because of the discharge profile?
