Can you explain how the venting system works on the A123 cells. I had assumed that the dot on the back of the cells was the vent but apparenly that is not the case. Sid related that A123 stated that this caused potential safety problems with end to end cell pack construction. Especially when using systems like the Solderless Power Tubes from MEC. Details would be appreicated. Apparently the venting system is different from what many of us are used to with Nicad and NiMH cells.
