Venom Lipo battery problems

This is the what happen to me when i did the Venom warranty battery bath on a brand new battery that was charged once and started swelling. They won't replace it, just 30% off new battery.

If it was brand new they should warranty it. They did with mine and it was three months old. I contacted them direct and they had me a new one in two days. They may not be the best but for the backyard bashing my kids are doing they work great.
