I don't see why you couldn't. I would be careful when you charge them though.

i would charge them out side

i would charge them slowly and in a liposack (or equivilant) outside checking them every 15or so minutes... sitting there watching them for 5 hrs wouldnt be practical

If the cells are not swollen, chances are they are fine. If you want to change wires, work on one wire at a time - less likely for a short to happen.

I would charge that pac outside too, but just the 1st time. If it's ok charging, then I wouldn't worry about the pac after that, just treat it like you do your others.
