Don’t wanna discourage any potential Woot’ers, but my experience with these things has been: WORST BATTERIES EVER!!!
I’ve dealt with batteries about the size of a grain of rice, and I’ve also had some that were the size of a living room. Big battery banks. But I’ve never had any that would leak, melt, bloat and make a #%^$# mess like these things.
When they explode in your $40 flashlight, I’d recommend that you first use a hammer and a wooden dowel to try to knock them loose. When that doesn’t work, try a bigger hammer and a stainless steel rod. It’ll make a mess, with chemical and gunk everywhere, but if you work on it a couple of days, you’ll probably be able to save your $40 flashlight.
The $600 electronics test and communications devices are probably beyond hope. But, hey, you got these Woot batteries, right?!
