i have tested Dave
smashed
dead shorted
nails driven through
smashing works the best
a big puff is all you get , sometimes a little smoke ..
Nothing wrong with me !
Love rounding up old packs and having a good time ...

I got it replaced and im learning about the batteries. Every once in a while
youu'll get a puffed battery. no matter where the pack comes from.
It's better to buy the name brand packs for this reason because they will
be able to be replaced for free. Venom I hear has had good customer support 'with thier battery packs. I probably wont buy a duratrax lipo again, but
that doesnt mean I'll try another brand.

So I tried discharging my lipo today using a car's 12v halogen headlight, and for the first 15 minutes or so, the light stopped working. I figured that the Lipo can't empty out that fast, so I tried another light. This time it was a smaller 12V 20W light bulb. The Light on that was barely lighting up, it was just flickering. An hour ago, before I used the Car Headlight, the light bulb was really bright. Question is, is my Lipo safely discharged, and is it possible for a lipo to discharge that fast? Btw, I started discharging at about 3.80V per cell. So, just below Storage voltage.
Pictures. (If you're wondering about where I found the headlight, it was in my garage :P My dad's a mechanic so there was a lot of car parts xD)
