Is it just me?

Thats the 2nd Teleydyne R17 cell thats fallen in half. The whole assembly coming apart from the faceplate (the bit that screws into the holder)

Bad batch?

Both cells C6

anyone else seen this - be nice to get a new cell under warranty

We are aware of a mechanical change in November 2006 to improve robustness and reduce risk of KOH leaking.
Your date is C6, so you need later cells.
