Default Done something stupid..

While at the track I was talking to a friend while charging a lipo battery, not paying attention, the battery finished charging so I went to swap to another battery to charge only to brainlessly connect the battery to the other battery instead of the charger.. the bullet plugs were fried, they can be replaced but I'm worried I've rogered 2 perfectly good batteries in one complete moment of stupidity. Reckon they are dead and I should throw out or should I try a different replace the plugs (have to order them)

Try some new plugs. That happened to me with a saddle pack where I put them both into the negative slot. Changed the plugs, charged it back up, and it has been running fine ever since.
