\n\n\n \nDon,\n\nThe best way I have heard of to open them up is to heat up the seams with a heat gun then blow pressurized air into the vent hole on top. I have had mixed results, but it is a more elegant solution then cutting them open with a Dremel tool. As a result of the mixed success rate I just sent out a posting looking for more bad, short batteries.\n\nJay\n\n\n\nFrom: Don Wisdom <donw@...>\nDate: 2006/04/07 Fri PM 04:07:08 EDT\nTo: ge-mpa@yahoogroups.com\nSubject: [GE-Mpa] Rebuilding M-PA Battery packs.\n\n\n\n\n\n \nYahoo!
