Any idea how the short happened?
internal short of some sort. Over the last couple months one of the cells would self discharge at about .01-.02 volts a day, so I had to keep a balancer on it at all times. I shouldn't of been running it but it still ran very strong and not puffed so it was hard to just toss out, plus it was a 125 dollar battery.

Thanks for the advice!
