Default Battery "Shelf-Short" Question

i have a pack of sanyo 3600mah batts (side by side)..
i charged it at 3.6amps since its not very stable and cant take high amps charging ..

BUT .. here comes the problem ..
after charging the batt,i let it to cool abit and it was luke warm..
thinking tat it was cool enuf ... i chucked it into my speedmind bag which has foam cushioning ...

bout and hour later when i took it out, it was freaking hot .. like something shorted the battery.
i checked the bag for any loose metal chip of somesort but there wasnt any.
How could it self shorted by itself ?
this is juz one account.

ANother acount is after the 1st account.
Knowing tat my batts can stay in the controller bag when warm ..
i left it in my MR-4TC when LUKE warm..
its almost to room tempurature already ..

An hour later .. the same thing happened ..
it seem to have shorted out of nowhere ..
and now the battery is damaged and lost lots of capacity.

I m damn sure tat there's no possibility of any chunks of metal shorting the beatt.

How is it possible tat the battery sort of get shorted juz like tat ?
i m super confused.
