I'm aware of that. Been in this too long to neglect batteries but occasionally you do get a stinker and unfortunately there are too many LiPo stinkers out there.

Almost everyone I know has had a puffed pack or two or more. It is a fact of life with LiPos. Even the best vendors packs may puff, I think it may be related to the lunar phases.
