FYI, The other day I put one of these old batteries in an external Apple brand charger overnight. About 2:00 AM was woken by a loud CRACK, sounded like a rifle shot. Even set the dog off. The end of one of the cells had blown partially out cracking and expanding the plastics. I'm glad it wasn't in the 165c when it went. Whats the easy way to pull one apart? The hard way appears to be alot of careful work with a utility knife, then lots of black tape to reassenble. Rick
