...I am worried if I do, it will explode like a dell!...
Leave the protective thermal sensors and thermal breakers in the circuit when you recell the battery, and do not tape over the existing vent holes/slots that are there to let any vented gas dissipate before it can build up. NiMH cells are not known to explode or burn as compared some lithium chemistry batteries. But they will overheat and vent if overcharged, and the power manager in the 1400, if working, is designed to prevent this.
