I picked up around 30 of these packs, never seen this brand before.
These are as new, replaced because the circuit boards have been upgraded on a newer model.
So I opened up the first pack and on removing the nickel strip from the first couple of cells there was a slight fizz sound, like cracking a tiny beer can (don't know how else to explain it )
On closer inspection the spot weld on the neagative end had popped a tiny hole in the can.
It's not the first time I've seen this. Some dewalt packs do this also.
I've left a section of the strip on negative end of remaining cells.
Something to keep in mind If they feel really tight.
Very inconsiderate of the company, they should be thinking of us diyers who come to pull their packs apart ?
