Shield Cell bank - I'm cofused.

I have a shield cell bank worth roughly 10k CR and it has 7 charges. Using a charge with one shield pip remaining boosts the shields to full. However I just saw a version which is statistically better, it's a better rating and class, same weight. When I fill it with charges from the munition screen it only fills up to 5 charges. It's 50k CR more expensive and according to the statistics it's a better version of what I already have. Am I missing something here?

I can post screenshots if needed, thanks.-

Edit: Here's the screenshots -

The cheap one i already had: http://puu.sh/dImoi/8ce06f55c7.jpg
The "better" one: http://puu.sh/dImq4/0ae9953a40.jpg

Munitions screen with the original: http://puu.sh/dImin/fe66250459.jpg
Munitions screen with the "upgrade": http://puu.sh/dIme0/35866bebe0.jpg

As you can see, despite being more expensive and having better stats, it carries less charges.

Am I missing something?

The bigger the shield gen the bigger the class of shield cell you need to completely fill your shields. Aim for 1 class below shield gen size. Also, the B rated seem to hold most charges.

The rating tells you that it is better, because every cell recharges more shield energy and faster than the previous version.

I see, well considering the I already had was alot cheaper and carries more charges I may as well keep it, especially since it already puts my shields to full power even from absolute minimum. Thanks for the help.
