They are brand new, and have never been in a car, all they have had is one charge at 1C, then discharged (on a charger) down to 3.85v per cell, god knows how I could have swollen them doing that!?

Could be good money after bad, but I have ordered one more pack, which I will measure before charging at all, to see what's what....

Not happy!

By the way, all 4 cells (2 packs) are exactly the same dimension as each other now, would they all swell to the exact same size like that if it was swelling? I'm just wondering if the issue is just that the cases are too small..??
