Wealth extraction on behalf of the ownership class, with disregard to lives and livelihood of everyday folks, is literally the only virtue you've promoted. You're not helping the case that capitalism isn't the core problem.

the capacity markings are the same thing written two ways

Watt hours = Amp Hours x Volts

Polarity is trivial to check with a multimeter but i would be inclined towards believing the battery, a wire doesn't know what color it is.

most of the devices in my house are 10 years or old or older
