Where the hell is that santa delivering lipos to the coun___$#!t I mean the good boys and girls. I just did a check on my tracking off half a turn at 80% throttle with a fresh pack. I could tell it was off from the last time I flew. But by the end of the pack it was back in. Well I got it running might as well hover the pack right HELL YEAH! Now I gotta pull the battery out after a flight it is puffing good enough to hold itself in the frame. I gotta fire extinguisher in the kitchen so if it goes Ill be ready but I aint waitin to fly just over a stupid lipo puffing.
Santa bring more lipos the Coonci___Damn did it again. I need a lipo sometime before XMAS.

I would say now is a good time. I would hate to see that lipo catch on fire during a flight

thanks toolman but I got a 1500 coming got a really good price on it. And I just sent my 2100N back yesterday so I just need patience But I love flying too much to just sit and wait. Its funny though the pack doesn't really get super warm maybe 80 degrees 90 tops just enough to make a hand warmer yes I did try hand warming and it worked. It just swells I am keeping a very close eye on it. Megapower will want this one back to investigate how one of there packs can do well over 200 flights. And I never treated it well always over discharging charging right after a flight. I was very impressed with it I would buy again but I found cheaper.When it comes to batteries Ive learned
Its like my daddy once told me the only thing better than a crawfish dinner is five crawfish dinners.

I tested the cells and they seem very close to the align battery. Ill let you know how it goes. If anyone knows anything different it would be much appreciated but until then im gonna give it a try. Brad

Continue flying with the puffing battery is just looking for trouble. Your going to s#*t when it bursts and burns the heli to the ground. Close fire extinguiser or not, all the plastic and electronics will be destroyed before you will be able to use it. On the bonus part it will make a heck of a conversation piece

I have heard the horror stories of lipos but never seen it. I understand charging a bad pack and blowing up. but my cellpro charges it its just fine only discharging does it puff. must be down to about a 4c pack now
Oh and I have about 30 flights on it since it first started puffing a little.
