Absolutely, but modern battery technology has all but eliminated this worry
where it comes to the battery itself (problems inherent to the device are of-course excepted, be it either by design or due to production defects), and allows "hot storage" and proper staging of items necessary for emergency-use (or just frequent-use) purposes.
Certainly, one could debate the practicality of staging earpro , but for those who frequent the range or who do stage earpro for home-defense purposes (whether it's integrated into a ballistic helmet or standalone), this does make a difference.

And I know that this is subjective, but for anything technical, if the author has made one mistake - particularly a glaring one - it always makes me worry what other mistakes there may be. 
Even kids these days knows that "alkali leakage" is not "battery acid." Corrosive, yes, but for the management of any potential injuries or the repair of affected components, this requires proper knowledge. ]
Agreed, but again, it's worth pointing out for those who are reading, as why it was not acknowledged by the author is certainly a head-scratcher. Everyone deserves to make a living, and I think that having a side-gig that pays by using affiliate links is as legitimate as any other. But honest (not suggesting that this author is not) reviewers these days - be it in blog form or video such as YouTube - take pains to point this out, specifically for fear of seeming impropriety. Greg Ellifritz of Active Response Training is one notable example of the former, and there are many of the latter, including the well-liked

Again, absolutely correct, but specific to the shooting sports and our need for concomitant use of eyepro, shooters need to understand that just grabbing a pair of muffs off the shelf as based on its advertised NRR may not truly give them the protection they need.
That this review is not specifically targeted (I can't seem to get away from these words! not a pun, I promise!
) towards shooters is probably the reason why the author did not deep-dive into this concern - so he/she is certainly not wrong for doing so - but it is nevertheless something that the reader, particularly if they are a beginner in this sport/hobby and may be reading this review to gain a basic understanding - needs to keep in-mind.
And here, that the author makes a technical mistake of associating perceived earcup comfort with gel ("liquid," as it is described in the article)-filled padding with increased noise-reduction capabilities is very concerning, as in many cases, this is objectively not true.
Overall, I'm not suggesting that this review is
bad - as I started with my first reply above, I think that it's a very reasonable introduction. Rather, I simply think that it's worth pointing out where it errs in terms of the technical, as well as where it falls short in terms of applicability to our specific needs.
Likely many reasons for technical differences with much that was mentioned? Mostly basics of what known by author or who at the time and where what's available where too? It all can change from place to place like the weather in different locations from my experience. We all live on the same planet, but the weather's not always the same in every place at the same time for example?
Times, in how things are done, people and methods change from time to time may be some of it? Some better, some not? Sometimes, like clothing fads, they often repeat themselves as well? Someone who has the biggest, newest, quickest game in town, sometimes forgets older tech still exists, functions and is enjoyable too?
It generally pays to keep up to degree with all the new tech, but also remembering the old ways and things so that some good may be kept while lesser quality's pushed further behind? With older tech and things being swept away by faster newer tech's whatever's so quickly, much is lost and sometimes gained? Good or not, guessing some of it may be in what whoever's caught up in with what at the moment too?
Sometimes, people and things get caught up in technical details too much where the enjoyment or the purpose and satisfaction may be lost too? What's actually gained or lost from what then? There's some reasoning in there someplace? Used to be, new tech was released to the public about every 10 years or so, so as not to ruffle feathers of many people and older tech too much because it may stress people out too much. Now, some release dates may be like what, 10 months? Some can see and feel the effects, stress and mistakes with or for people more clearly now because of newer techs currently and constantly evolving too rapidly at times? The authors, yours and my combined comments may reflect that point in the details?
Sponsors, advertisers may be in another world at times? Even with simple things like introductions for example? How many times has a newer product, TV show, movie or article stated
"Brought to you by" this sponsor or that one? Age may show in that question? Either in the beginning or end of whatever lately? - There was talk in the movie industry to forgo mentioning the advertising and credits at one time, um, that didn't float too well did it? Why? Many things are done more quickly now days, sometimes things maybe move too quickly or possibly too much at once to benefit anyone may be some of it? The pace may be too far advanced for the audience or time to benefit many people. Basically, out of sync, off kilter? Possibly too greedy or too competitive to realize widespread effects?
Changes? Taking in for example the recent condition of covid for example? Have noticed many advertisers and sponsors were right there, right on top and upfront promoting this or that to people, consumers who are and were looking at what, empty shelving? What's to be gained and lost by that then? Timing is much to selling, promoting whatever from whichever end. If not? What are the sometimes remorseful events that can occur afterwards and to whom? It, or the end effects, results isn't always about a consumer or purchaser, it can also be to an advertiser or seller? It can be a tit for tat, caring or uncaring upside down or rightside up world sometimes?
Other specifics? Basically, one big thing to be aware of and hopefully helpful in this world is knowing about and knowing what specifics? Yes, specifics are important, but also
why they are as well. Much looks the same for various reasons because of this cladding or that - while the internals may be different. Are cladding, appearance importance? Yep. Is marketing capitalizing on fads? Yep. Is another reason liked the article, it detailed that there were differences, may not have gotten all the terminology exactly correct, but did in showing the examples of differences
in benefits. Am thinking most of authors audience likely gained that there were benefits and differences to each? The benefit is the part many people likely realize and use more?
The details of specifics, sometimes is like a road trip, good book or story? Getting there can be fun, sometimes best part of trip, but the goal is still the actual destination or benefit? Author basically specified there were differences that went along with whatever product - and the possible benefits. - Overlooked, lost what if anything then? - Like one of the most useful overlooked things hopefully learned in education? The actual ability to learn most anything? The subject matter may change like the wind in details with various subject matters in history or geography as time goes by, nations and peoples can come and go, but
the learning ability is the basic key to the world. The specifics can change and are sometimes irrelevant while the benefits aren't? Yep,
"the devil may be in the details?" - And, sometimes the specifics? Hopefully, there's a balance in there someplace?
