If so how can I check the total mah of a charged battery?
Yes, your battery had a partial charge. To check the total mAh of a battery, you have to run it down and recharge and let the charger tell you how much it put back in. If you run a LiPo down to LVC (Low Voltage Cutoff), which should be no less than 6.4V (I think mine is setup for 6.8V in the ESC), then recharge, you'll get your mAh reading.
