SMC LIPO BATTERY THREAD

are all the cells swollen or just 1 in the back? The odds of all the cells in a back being defective is basically 0%. For them to be warrentied it basically needs to be 1 cell out of wack. If you have a couple packs with issues, its most likely the user. What other brand of packs have you used without issues?

He will want to know when you bought them and which batteries you bought as well.

Hey guys, which of your 2s packs do you recommend for a Losi 22 RTR brushless setup? Just some club racing. Looking to grab a few packs, but want to make sure i'm not going to run into issues fitting the battery into the chassis.
Also looking for some 3S packs for a MBX6 Eco which has a short battery tray of 140mm.

That's what I would do, just be sure to use a actual deans brand and not a cheap knockoff.

The comments section of these plugs state that they will not work for SMC batteries. Have anyone tried these plugs? If they don't work, do you have an alternative to the cage style plugs?

I have a bit of a problem I bought some of your smc race spec batteries and they swelled after 2 races.........I take care of my batteries and have some that are about 3 years old......the only problem and why I did not go to warranty servises was that these two races were over a span of a couple of months because of rain outs......

I have the 7200mah 2s batts and all are a little swollen. Danny reassured me that because they are trying to cram so many mah into the roar approved case they will swell slightly. I find no lack of punch or runtime nor any odd behavior when charging. And the IR is still really low for all cells on all 4 of my packs. Not sure of which size batteries you are running as you didn't state but hope that helps.

All 6-7 of my 7200's swelled and most cracked where the wires come out of the case within first few runs but it hasn't been a problem. The 6500's I have still look good. I would send back but the cracks so far are only along the edge and haven't gotten bigger but then again I run 6-7 packs so most only get used 1 time per weekend between quals and mains I rarely have to charge.
