Get rid of the swollen batteries as soon as possible and do not try to
charge them! They may explode or burn!

 Here you can get genuine Nokia batteries for a fraction of the price

 didn't rupture, but the battery door now seems to be permanently warped.
 two of my other spares are also slightly swollen. the bad one is a nokia
 OEM one.

 still works and buy a couple new batteries.
