At a ROAR nationals do they still tech battery temp and voltage before you hit the track ?

Just following on from the initial question, at what IR are people ditching old ones for new ones?

Back in the day before I knew of lipo batteries, I had a PDA (yeah one of those) that was bulging because of the battery inside. So, in order to reduce the swelling I took a hobby knife and "vented" said battery. It worked but Im just lucky the thing didnt burn my house down.

I have had luck rejuvenating packs by discharging them down to 3.5v/cell, then putting them in a lipo sack and putting them in the freezer for a day. Take it out, let it come up to room temp and cycle it a couple of times.
This won't bring it back to "like new" condition - but can make it slightly better for a little while.
