|  puffed lipo, should I use it?
I got 2 3S batteries with an E-Maxx that I bought and 1 of them is puffed. This is the first puffed battery that I have had and I don't know if I should use it or get rid of it before something happens. Can someone tell me what they think by the pictures? Thank you.

I hope the pictures are showing up. They are showing up on my phone but will not show up on my computer. Can anyone tell me why?

I don't trust puffed lipos. I say, cut the connector off, go to your backyard, tie the + and - wires together, watch it go boom. Then dispose of it.   |

Either cut out the cell and use the others (use alcohol or acetone to soften the glue between cells), or drain and toss the pack. That cell is toast.

I would have thought that if the cell was bad that it would not take a charge. It will still take a charge and the guy that I got it from said he has been running it like this for a while but I an worried about it. Thanks for all the replies.
