How do I tell if they are really puffing. It seems like the case separated really easy. - right now it separates by about 2 -3 mm when I charge and when I run

Is this puffing?

Notice the tops of the packs dont rest flat in the pics

I have ThunderPower packs that have 'puffed' some too. I still run them, no problems what so ever, still good strong packs. These packs were well maintained but they have many cycles on them. I still run ThunderPower and highly recommend them.
