Where these two actually differ

  • We flag Electrical/thermal safety (design integrity) and Manufacturing contamination or counterfeit units on the Samsung and not on the Samsung.
  • We flag Lithium-ion thermal runaway (overcharge/physical damage) and Internal electrolyte irritation (puncture hazard) on the Samsung and not on the Samsung.
  • The Samsung is plastic housing, internal circuits, ceramic capacitors where the Samsung is Lithium-ion battery, aluminum, stainless steel body, which is most of the difference in these two grades.
  • These two are level, close enough that price and fit should decide it rather than our grade.

Both products run through the same public rubric, which covers materials, coatings, brand disclosure, lab findings, and recalls, plus a beyond-PFAS hazard analysis. Grades are model-based estimates, not lab tests. How grades work →
