| i think i just killed my Lipo battery?
so i was going to change the connectors on my 3s LiPo 5000mah that i just got. (i'm new to this LiPo stuff.) i go to cut off the old connector and i accidently made the wires touch and make a spark for like a second did i just kill my battery? then i put on my new connector and now it's like it has no connection. my charger says no battery |

it should be okay as long as it's not puffed. have you checked all the solder joints between the cells to make sure that the short didn't desolder them? i've been reading of this happening a lot lately with certain packs.

i opened up that battery and it was just a solder joint. i was mad for a sec because i just bought this battery and it was 120 bucks (i know i probably got ripped off) my LHS store sucks. |
