I'm glad neither you nor anyone else were hurt. Nonetheless, when the manufacturer says charge at 1C (4.2A) and you usually charge at 6A, and when you thought it was 6A but it wasn't (and could just as easily have been higher) why do you think this was not your fault?
The one thing these incidents have in common is a high charge rate, and much higher (up to 50%, like yours) than IB recommend. I agree (and so do IB, they've recommended that some cells not be used) that there is a fault somewhere, but charging at 6A isn't helping the situation.
Has anyone managed to find the IB batch codes on VTEC cells? I've checked mine closely and can't find any, which doesn't help me identify if I have any on the list posted on the BRCA site. Any clues, anyone...
