I'm trying the very low charge and so far so good after almost an hour, puffing has decreased as well.
if i were you, i would keep doing this. if the swelling is going down and i is charging, keep working at it. after a few more tries, if is still doesn't work, pluck the bad cell out and save the other one for a spare. then, take the bad cell, hook it up to a car battery, and watch the fireworks


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
