Hey Dorrington,
I tried removing cells from sleeves and this is what I found:
It certainly can be done, the most challenging part is to remove the nickel plates first.
But then...
I have two old banks, cells' sleeves on one are blue, and another - orange (looks like these are more "fresh"). So when I pull out blue ones - there is a insulation washer on positive contact, and it's glued. But on the orange it is only fixed by sleeve, once removed it doesn't stay in place. Which in turn increases risk of short circuit. Have you seen this and if so what was your resolution?
