lincpimp... I hope you are not using this maxamps pack as a test pack?

It's not likely that the remaining cells are in 100% condition.

Also, the bottom cell in the pic above actually looks like it might be slightly puffed. A good cell is completely flat... no curve to it.

One of those cells has to be swelled...

I had a pack that had a very slight puff to it... barely noticeable. It lasted a long time like that but eventually did get worse and puffed more. That was a pack that got taken out with an ESC meltdown.

I think the non-copper tab is tin, not aluminum...? Alum is very soft and requires special flux to solder.
