These 2 both puffed up at the exact same time, and they are both still at 3.8v/cell.
What could have caused this and is there a way to reverse the puff?

2 of these with maybe 20 minutes of run time on them, i sure hope they can be recovered.
I have had luck putting them in the freezer over night to get the puffing to go away.
