G+_52Degrees Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 When talking about LiPo batteries... How puffy is puffy? 2 of my 5 batteries feel like they have a bit of air inside the packaging. Not enough that the pack won't sit flat on a table, but enough that I can feel something when I give it a "squish" test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 That's really up to you. I will typically allow for a LITTLE puffiness.. but those packs get extra scrutiny. I condition them properly (store them at 50% charge) and if they get worse, they automatically get disposed of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_52Degrees Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Cool. That's kind of what I figured (one off them hasn't even been used yet), but I also haven't given up off the idea that I could make a pretty spectacular youtube video with them. ? Thanks for the response! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_52Degrees Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Well.... I'm not going to destroy my only (marginally) functional EVIL DRONE just for the sake of entertainment, but I might cause a questionable battery to suddenly reduce itself to lesser compounds ?

G+_Jeff Brand Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Fr. Robert Ballecer, SJ, how helpful is an internal resistance check in this situation? Isn't that supported by the i6 and other chargers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
