Generally, battery manufacturers do not fudge the performance data of their product for obvious reasons (litigation by competing manufacturers within the same jurisdiction).
But the importers and/or sellers abroad frequently do, in their quest for increased market share.
The importer can approach the manufacturer, in terms of what goes on the screen printed label in his country.
Complete specs sheets can be "re-designed" with fudged performance figures, and the manufacturer couldn't care less if done under another trademark in a foreign country.
But all is not lost, because battery weight remains the biggest giveaway, and it can't be changed unlike the screen printed label.
Here are some battery weight examples from the Fullriver specs sheet:
HGL100-12 328L 172W 214H, 30.4kg, 0.304kg/Ah
DC120-12 331L 175W 214H, 36.5kg, 0.304kg/Ah
If you compare this to 0.24kg/Ah of your battery, obviously something doesn't add up - or Fullriver and the likes don't know how to save lead in a given battery size.
