Anyone use a lipo after a swelling incident and still alive to talk about it?

I had a TrueRC 4s 8000mah pack that puffed on me. I waited a couple days for the swelling to go down, and afterward it worked fine. I sold the pack, so not sure how its still doing, but for the first run after it puffed it did fine with as much power as it did before.

Funny, who did you sell it to? Mother-in-law?


Thanks for the replies. It swelled up over a week ago and it has been in solitary confinement since. In a ammo can, didn't have a shovel handy with me . I checked the voltage it is isn't below. I'll give it a go and mark it. Anyone want to buy a lipo? You don't have to have it shipped directly to your house? I could ship it somewhere more "convienent" for you.

Shaun, if your missing any lipos. They might be under you patio!

No, kulongflow (spelling??) actually. He said it worked fine for him a while back... don't know how its doing now for him...

I had a trash amps 5000 3s that would puff on every run, and after a few hours it would almost be back to normal. I used it this way for a month (roughly 100 cycles, I drive a lot so what ) and it finally died a week ago. After that I got 2 True RC 2s 8000's and they have WAY more punch and almost the same top speed! (around 50mph)


I sure love True Rc lipos!

Yep, I bought the pack on the cheap knowing that it had been puffed. Half of the cells were still good, so now I have a 2s 8k pack that works fine and for a great price.

Thanks jnev!

i had a MM short my batteries out and it puffeed a little...i think. but after a few days in the ammo box, its back and the only thing that "seems" different is shorter run time
