That's not to say that they couldn't have put a lithium AA or AAA battery into the pagers or inserted a modified AA/AAA battery that was a combination of lithium (with greater power density) and explosive.
It's also possible that they have fancier 1-way pagers than I'm aware of.
- mrtksn 2y agoAccording to this post, the pagers that exploded had rechargeable batteries. They even used USB-C, so Hezbollah must be using somewhat fancy pagers: https://x.com/BabakTaghvaee1/status/1836082246538629490 https://x.com/BabakTaghvaee1/status/1836082246538629490

- cdchn 2y agoI remember reading once that Apollo is pretty much the only name in the game any more for pagers.
