That is too bad. I specifically asked when I heard of my cells if they had full tabs or not. I too wasn't willing to dink around with blemished cells.
In other (IMO) sad news, looks like A123 will be majority owned by the Chinese pretty soon. Too bad nobody from the US (or any other country who doesn't blatantly steal from the world) was willing to plunk down any money on some of the most advanced battery technology available. I suppose at least this time they're actually buying it.

Wanxiang will provide a bridge loan of $75 million or so, and eventually invest up to $450 million in A123, which would give it an ownership stake of about 80% in the company. Wanxiang’s global empire boasts some $13 billion in revenue and over 45,000 employees.
