Default RE: Batteries running-in and swollen batteries


ORIGINAL: serious power

Hi,
For the last 3 or so years most brands are giving more cycles.
As a result we are generally happy with them ,if for no other reason than they were better than the previous lot.
One thing that I have noticed (I don't get through that many packs anyway) is that it is just one or two cells that let a pack down.
I would say that this is the case in 75% of cases - small sample though.

I agree. It would be nice if it were easy to replace a single cell but it would make the packs heavier and more folks would burn down their garages in the process.
