I did a silly thing storing batteries

[Tronk]

I made a couple of sets of "on the axle battery packs". When I charged them I just sat both packs in a plastic tub. The batteries must have been touching each other as when I lifted them out one of the cells is warm. I dont know if this has caused any damage to the battery cell. I intend to make some inserts for the tray where I keep my batteries to ensure each pack is kept seperate in the future.

Was there any metal objects in the tub with your batterys?

as a while ago a had some batterys in my pocket with some money and a metal tool and they heated up.







Thanks

No James.

There was nothing else with the batteries. It was just the battery terminals touching each other. I dont know what long term damage could have been caused as they must have been touching for a few days

Ummmmmmmm i have no other idea what it could be . Have you ran them since this happend. I would try them but keep a very close eye on them
