Back in October 2009 I posted regarding my Ezee battery rebuild using Aldi NiMH C-cells. I mentioned that I couldn't fit them in the battery box, so I am going to overflow into a small extra box. Should finish that this christmas break and post some results/pics. Anyway - I promised to post a picture of the swollen Phy-lions in my existing battery - so here it is.
I have a question - I have taken the battery management electronics off the cells - does anyone know of use for same? I can't quite identify the chips because of the conformal coating on the pcbs.
It seems a shame to throw them in the electrical recycling bin.
BTW, I tried putting some charge into the cells, but some of them are showing less than 0.5V, so are completely useless.

There's not much the boards are useful for since they constantly change as cells develop. If you have a look at the page below on my Torq website you'll see the differences on the similar eZee Phylion battery that I photographed:
