based on official story, the anode and cathod came in "contact" = MFG
error... how could that happen?  the whole idea of battery is anode and
cathod should not in contact... tolerance issue? how could that be MFG
error, if it is, why is not caught during testing? battery short (in
contact) should be easy to catch, we are not talking about charge leakage
here... how it escaped?  more question than answer... (don't tell me SI to
empire conversion or round up error stuff like that...).  not small
gap,but in contact... must be lost in translation...
