Question

I found a new battery. Do I have to announce it as a lost item?

Answer

Since it has no identifying mark, there is no need to announce it. However, since it is possible that the owner has not yet despaired of it, you should record the details of the object, its value, and where it is being kept, and when Elijah the Prophet comes, he will say whether it must be returned and to whom.
