I'm just suspicious a shock-reanimated battery holds enough power (=3Dvolta=

to bring us over the boot gap, and won't activate protection again just in=

no-time when we try to pull energy. That's all. Of course you can shockstar=

battery out of protect-mode, no doubt. But did you get a boot with such a=20
