<DIV>OK, - got the battery outside in a fire proof location? Do that
first!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Leave the pack sit for 24 hours or so before you do anything with it. It
could be extremely unstable and very dangerous.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>It sounds like you shorted the pack while soldering the deans on. Its easy
to do. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What you need to do now is make sure the pack gets completely discharged at
a very slow rate. Its possible that the pack still has some charge in the cells.
If there is any puffing there is a chance the pack could explode when/if it
is punctured.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>What size is the pack?</DIV>

Batteries</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Well, I buy these two three cell batteries from TP. I solder
the female deans connectors onto them. One cell in one battery swells
and the covering is discolored and wrinkled. This was before I charged
them. I figure I compromised the wires while I was soldering. What
do I do now?</DIV>
