Puffed or swollen lipo. Safe?
Ive bought a second hand 60c lipo from a guy through a well known auction site and its arrived with both cells obviously puffed or swollen, which ever you prefer. Its that bad that it wont sit flat in the chassis. Hes telling me its normal and quite safe. What do those that know think of using the battery in this condition and is it safe to use?

Not safe to use and not something that would get near my car...

I have seen many lipos like that work just fine, that said I would return it no reason to pay your hard earned money for something less than correct.

I haven't switched to LiPos yet so I wouldn't know, but how can you tell if something like that happens to the LiPo if it has a hard case around it?

Because they push the case out of shape. This one is top and bottom, so what sort of pressure is going on inside
