Where these two actually differ
- We flag Lithium-ion battery thermal runaway risk, Electromagnetic field exposure and Counterfeit or degraded battery cell defects on the Mophie and not on the Mophie.
- We flag Water-resistant coating composition (unknown), Plastic off-gassing (VOC/volatile organics), Coating degradation and leaching over time and Microplastic shedding from worn case on the Mophie and not on the Mophie.
- The Mophie is Lithium-ion battery, plastic housing, metal contacts where the Mophie is Plastic housing with unspecified water-resistant coating, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
- The gap is 45 points, wide enough that this is not a close call, and the Mophie is the one to buy.
