Dunno what shape it should be, but. i once had a battery that was flat

i think you need to put it on a diet and send it to the gym

and if it was a little fatter, then you would be able to roll it about instead of carrying it

It's just asking to have a pin pushed into it isn't it?

 

[Sharpend]

Ah yes it's one of those new batteries helium-ion. !!!

 

[binky]

so that's where all the mince pies went!

Looks like it is bruised and swollen, could be a case of assault and battery.

Fattery. i agree with prodave needs a pin or even dropping form a few stories up if you do post a vid

Won't let me see your pics but I assume the batteries are swollen.( I have just joined the forum but system reports I don't have the rights to view the pics?)

There are numerous reasons why this can happen -

• Batteries shorted at terminals possibly by 'salts' building up on casing
• Cell failure within the battery
• Mostly nowadays batteries are sealed if not check electrolyte levels and SG
• Insufficient cooling of the batteries
• Incorrect charging current
• Failed battery within the circuit resulting in other batteries having to make up for the dead battery putting excessive strain on them.

Hope this helps.

I did hear that the manufacturer has been handing out these batteries free of charge !
