    Default Unsure if my lipo is puffy or not

    I have one Grim Racer Speed Pack 5000mah 40c running in my Revolt 30 all stock. I've probably had less than 10 runs with it. After a run I noticed that only the top cell or plastic casing puffed or looked swelled. After a few hours of cooling down, so did the swelling. Lipo was able to charge as normal, ran it again, puff/swell came back, cooled down and swelling went down. Anyone have a picture of what a puffed lipo looks like? Any thoughts? Also... I notice that the speed of the boat is slightly slower than my (2) 5000 mah Zippys and GForce packs.

    And if I have to do the salt water bath, what's the mixing solution and time to discharge? Thanks.

    When doing a salt watrr bath, you duscharge the battery first with a lighy bulb or motor, then slit the packs and soak for two weeks.
