A month or two ago i bought batteryspace batteries and a batteryspace pcb and charger from bush right here on modretro.
I received them pretty fast given the distance to cover.
My first problem is that i received a Li-ion charger instead of the batteryspace smartcharger, but bush assured me it would work so since i haven't tryied it i believe in that.
My problem is that both of the cells were sealed in electric tape, as i've seen most of your round here do.
But one of the cells was swollen to twice the size of the other one, kind of in a round shape. So i took the electric tape cause the difference of thickness could have been caused by the tape of course. But when i took the tape of, i noticed it was actually swollen and round unlike the other cell which was thin and rectangular.
What caught my attention mostly was that after the tape was off i noticed the swollen cell had on its bottom some hot glue covering a crack where the gray plastic of the battery was open.
I assume this isn't normal, and i guess i shouldn't use those cells should I? I am kind of affraid to do so.
Moreover bush told me the protection circuit was locked in protection mode so i should rewire it, i'm guessing there is something to do with the issue.
I'm not attacking bush at all since my knowledge of this is limited, but i sure as Heck can see something is odd. And i want to take precautions since i don't want the battery to leak or worse due to the fact that it is open and the charger is unusual.
I hope someone will take the time to clarify the situation.
Pics can be provided if needed. Thanks
