Puffed lipo by shorting?

[E-Revonut]

At first when I heard of the pottential dangers of Lipos I was scared away. Then I seen some videos on YouTube!!! In order to get anything close to a spectacular explosion or fire you pretty much have to do it intentionally! like plugging the thing into AC or holding a dead short, or direct 12V hook up, but nothing was instantanious that I seen, it all took several minutes. I'm sure that it is frowned upon but I have fallen asleep many times with mine hooked up to the charger. It just shuts down to a trickle charge and the balancer keeps pulling little bits of juice out of it, after 6 hours it was no more charged than normal with no ill effects!

On that note I say get an RC vehicle going first run it a couple times and see what happens. Compare run times with your other pack, or if running in series check and see how balanced everything stays. I wouldn't jump to any conclussions just yet, no need to waste your money shipping and Neu's time disecting it if it turns out to be nothing!
