My packs have 6-10 charges on them over only 2 months... So storage was not a concern. But your point is a good one. We must properly balance and store batteries long term to assure they don't start breaking down and puffing up.

I have also found that my 4S packs get out of balance extremely quick while in storage, compared to my 2s packs ,and the higher the cell count , the more frequent the balancing/checking voltage routine better be , or else you will see some puffing soon !!!

Later today i will provide a guide that will help all of you to understand why batteries puff/Balloon and how to handle your lipos/lifep04's etc .

ThunderPower support sent rma back immediately and they look to be honoring the warranty as promised and quickly. (I leave on business for a few weeks so I won't be able to send in the defective pack until after. I'll update based on my ship date.

Thanks Thunder for the response. My email(s) wereanswered in less than 24 hours and the guy was to the point and wanting to help.
I bought the packs for a reason... Not just top quality but top service!(which I hope to prove here)
Yes ALL packs puff and often cheap packs will puff faster and for
Less reasons than a high qualify thunder power pack.

^ I mentioned in another thread before that expensive packs seem to be the most fragile from what ive seen, but thats an argument..
