A couple of days ago, a couple of cells in my Ni-Cad battery exploded. The rest appear to be fine. Does anyone know anyone in the Toronto area who re-builds battery packs?

Stokell, Why some of the cells exploded? The rest are not affacted?

Given the toxic materials in Nicads, I'd treat the whole thing with caution.

The battery still charges to 35V, but only lasts about a third of the distance. I dunno the reason one exploded, someone said it was because the cells were soldered, not spot welded. The point is, I need to get it repaired or replaced.
