Rebuilding what I thought was a dead NiCad pack for a cordless phone.
The battery pack in question is a Sony BP-T18 - 3.6v, 600mAh. In series
connecting 2 of the batteries is an open component with these markings:

It sounds like a thermal fuse. It opens if it gets too hot.

They are about 3/16" in dia and maybe 3/8" long, look like a metal
case axial lead capacitor with some color of plastic insulation around
where one lead exits.

Does this sound right?

Radio Shack carries a few temps of these.
