X2 - Man, I have done it a couple times also - Made me sick! $$$ down the toilet!

Personally, I would not trust the battery even if you got it to read. With good batteries so cheap now a days, I would be more worried about the ESC. The only ESC that did not blow when I did that was the Mamba Max Pro. Figure I would learn, but I have blown 1 (maybe 2) ESCs doing that exact thing. So easy to do with the bullets in the battery pack!
