LIPO What's Happening?

[clarkm]

I have the Venom 2s 5000mah 50c Hard Case lipos and I just notice one case is not flat anymore, It is bulging slightly on both sides I think I know what's happening, is it safe to continue using it?

It depends how poofed it is.. if it's just a small bulge you can get some more use out of it.. typically when you charge it and after it cools it will get smaller. First thing though, stop running to LVC!! These boats are super hard on packs.. time your runs and quit before the pack swells any more or if you can increase your voltage cut off to 3.3 or 3.4v per cell.

Put it in a lipo sack then you will be safe, or so I heard on the internet forums.
