Some people on ES will spend a few thousand dollars building high voltage, high amp battery packs out of lipos from HK. If something happens and a couple hundred bucks worth of cells puff within the pack they built, I guess they find a way to try to salvage most of those cells. Especially if the cells are puffed but still show low IR, good voltage and still take as much charge as the good cells. I've seen it more than once myself, a puffed cell that doesn't show any defects other than being puffed. I will do this ''de gasing'' method in a heartbeat next time it happens to one of my lipos. Squeeze and poke, squeeze and poke. If things go bad, drop and roll, drop and roll
