See this image..This is how you can use 2 lipo cells and can create 2s battery......
And if possible see my latest post.... First discharge the battery upto 3.3v and then perform theses things :)

You actually need to know how to solder.....For preparing proper connections :)
Always keep your connections tight, clean and strong :).

u could save the middle cell.   
1 check voltage.  if its below 2.8.     charge it manually by mobile charge for 30 seconds . and let it rest for 5 mins. then repeat this for 3 times.  .

that's it

Hey guys!

I think it's very risky to open the pack yourself unless you have the skills to do it. The packs are made in a sophisticated facilities with controlled temperatures and you don't want to locally raise the temperature which will pretty dangerous. And its not worth risking for a Rs. 1000 pack.

Also a tip on storage: Discharge the batteries to 60% before storing. And whenever possible charge once every two months. Puffing happens when the temperatures of storage differ drastically. Try to keep in a cold and relatively invariant temperature.

May be these are just too much to do but they do help in long run.

Cheers!
