AW +contact damaged

[chiphead]

I've noticed that the positive contact on some of my AW 18650 cells look as if they've been hit with a hammer. This is causing some contact issues in my Solarforce L2P/HA. I've had these cells since 3/2011, is anyone else seeing this ? Check out you cells ya'll!

do you have any photos of your cell? how would it have happened? did you drop it?

Perhaps if this was listed in the proper battery section it will get some notice and feedback.
You ever been to the battery section of CPF?

I wish I had a digital camera that could zoom that close! On the matter of dropping these things, no sir!
