Agreed. Unfortunately we will never know for sure. Another mentor immediately disposed of the two questionable batteries at a recycle center and they are now gone. I now think there was may have been nothing wrong with them, but it a minor loss to insure safety.

Hopefully this will encourage us to review our battery practices and safety procedures. It appears that not everyone on the team that was handling batteries had the same knowledge or followed the same process. If nothing else we can use this experience to help the students learn more about proper battery safety, care, and at least where we keep the battery spill kit.
