    Blackhawk Proto 1/4" [Facom?]

    No COO anywhere, and it seems that it is a close-out that was lingering for a while. otherwise, works great and not only for the price. Claims 72 tooth movement. Looks like a Facom descendant. https://www.ebay.com/itm/384158533304

    iPhone Metadata?

    Or is it something else? I am back from helping an NGO in Ukraine, and this where every security guy makes sure you are not an iPhone user. Everyone i asked would give me a vague non-answer, but it seems that those are the easiest to track from satellites.

    Should I return this EverStart Platinum battery, or put it in service

    I had the same dance with Costco twice. They took the battery back twice without any hassle, but that was within 60-90 day period. WM used to have quality battery lines, but seems to be slipping here as well. Believe it or not, the best battery I found was an EFB battery from Autozone. An EFB...

    Battery -- new testing at 12.41 v

    ANOTHER proven iPhone lifesaving feature for the newest iPhone 14

    It all depends... In Ukraine the soldiers had to switch to Android. You and your comrades are dead quickly if you use an iPhone. Somehow Airplane Mode is different for the Apple.

    It's easy to find Internet 'articles' that just copy-paste each other. EFB battery tech is far more common in Europe. Here are some additional links: https://www.midtronics.com/blog/everything-you-need-to-know-about-efb/...
