I just bought a Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) about a week ago. And I just had taken it apart today to look at the battery.

There's a 5% fasttech code!?
Yes "ECF". Near as I can figure it started on 9/5 & runs till 9/11. People acting like it is a nuclear launch code or something. Sent out by private email I wasn't on list for. Strange how they are acting like it is a big insider secret not to be shared.
5% off all ECigs: FastTech Forums

That's the charge voltage (4.35v @ 2.6a). There are HV LiIon batteries that are charged to 4.35v though.

To clarify, the removable Samsung batteries should be fine. I've been using them for about 4 years now (2 different models) until recently when I replaced my aging Samsung batteries with anker replacements which have been excellent so far.

The note 7 is a sealed unit (non removable battery), I'm 99% sure any of the removable batteries made by Samsung would be fine. (but as always, use caution and becareful)

On the receiving end I guess.
Yes, the IRS sent me a bill for $11k yesterday, and they want it by Oct 6t, for co-ops I did back in 2014. It appears PP reported the co-op transactions as income to the IRS.

You are "Verified", see the Post Deeming thread in the Discussion group on the verified side of the fence.

So yes, PP and the IRS are both on my special list right now.
