Its an IP/Protek pack thats only a couple months of use on maybe 4 race days, storage charged at 3.9v/cell when not in use. It doesnt look swollen or anything abnormal.
That amount of charge is not normal at all. 30-50 mah is more like it. The LiFe battery nominal voltage is 3.3v per cell, 6.6v for 2s. Peak cutoff should be 7.2v for 2s. Storage charge could be in the 3.3-3.5v per cell range, but not 3.9v. Sounds like you have been charging your LiFe pack with Lipo settings. Regardless, sound like you need a new receiver pack
