| lipo? its buldging
Do i need to get rid of it? Lipo is starting to puff and I read a post saying to get rid of it and dont use it. Is this right? I just got it in aug. or sept last year. I thought it should have lasted longer. It has about 8-10 charges on it. thanks |

I wouldn't use it. bulging lipo usually means something could be wrong with the cells. I won't take a chance.

Yes do not use it. If you overcharged or overdischarged one or more cells then you could have damaged the pack causing it to puff up. I would make yourself up a saltwater solution and use it to slowly discharge the pack safely so it doesnt blow up. Search on google how to properly dispose of a lipo pack, should get you all the info you could need. |

Age is immaterial. You can puff a brand new one or one that's five years old. There is a potential fire hazard if the envelope ruptures and oxygen gets in. |

Thanks , This is my first lipo set so I wasnt really sure what to do. Lots of people say lots of different things. I guess I better take care on it soon since its just sitting. I dont want my house to burn down..
