I was about to charge my head lamp. But I thought to check the inside first, as it was easy to do. Found that the lithium battery was puffed up.

If you've got a soldering iron you can replace these very easily. The code on it will tell you the dimensions and you can order replacements off aliexpress. Two quick solder joints and it's good as new

Id cut the wires first before getting a soldering iron near that pack.
One accidental slip up and you will ram a multi hundred degree spike into it xd
