I am not sure what it is but like i said i have the tekin fx-r, tcs 7 cell split battery pack. thanks for input | When the short occurred, you probably vented a cell. Do you have a volt meter? Most of the time I have found, if this happens, only one cell will vent, releasing the load on the others saving them from death.
Take a volt meter and check each cell individually. The bad one may even produce a negative voltage, but you will for sure be able to tell what one is bad.
I don't know if you have any soldering experience or not so you might just have to go get a new pack.
