i have an older maxamps 11.1v 8000mah that i recently bought on here. ive run it like 6 or 7 times since i got it, but i never used more than half of the pack. (i ran with my friend, and his couldnt last
) anyways, this morning i was out driving it around, just bashing about. i have my lvc set at 9.6v. well, i noticed it getting a bit sluggish, so i figured it was going to cut off. what i found was a slightly puffed pack. it was minor and still came out of my t4 easily. so i was like crap, the lvc didnt work. so i put a meter on it, and it was at 10.1v. it was warm, but not even close to hot. say 125, maybe. so i left it outside all day, out of the sun. when i got up this afternoon, i went out, and to my surprise the pack had shrank back down to normal size, and i couldnt feel any puffy-ness at all. i rechecked the voltage and it had gone up to 10.3v. i put my balancer on it, balanced it, and then left for work. im now charging it outside, just in case. im new to lipos, but from what i gather, once it puffs, it doesnt go away. info please!!!
im using an xcelorin esc with their 6400kv motor. stock (as far as i know) spur, which is 87t, and a 19t pinion.
