I don't understand then why the rear label shows the same power consumption of 500 mW as a classic one.

Maybe the 500mW is the total current when the calculator is, filled with 8s AND the evil charger is plugged in? It all depends on where you measure the current, of course.
Why the concern about the nominal rated value, though? Do you have an interesting project planned? Do tell...

There are fewer digits than on the Classics! Hah, that's a good way to put a positive spin on what is really a bad thing.
