Crash on Battery |
08-Oct-2018, 03:58 PM I crashed on battery and now the battery shape is weird Checked the voltage is normal Will it effect the battery? ouch! it's a tough call. I've seen people carry on using batteries that are deformed form crashes. It might not be an issue, but it might affect the performance of the battery a bit. If the inside is damaged it can also cause shorts and fire... I personally would just dispose it for safety, but it's your call. (or just remove the damaged cell and keep the good cells) Here are some tips you might find useful: How to protect LiPo from physical damage in the future: https://oscarliang.com/protect-lipo-battery/ How to dispose LiPo: https://oscarliang.com/dispose-lipo-battery-safely/ How to remove bad cell: https://oscarliang.com/fix-lipos-bad-cell/ 08-Oct-2018, 10:02 PM I have a few badly deform lipos. So far, they have been fine. Knock on wood. Like Oscar said, it is your call. If you keep using it, I would be extremely careful when charging. Maybe charge it a few times outside. Here is a tip. If you have lipo with thin shrink wrap, I usually put an additional thick shrink wrap over. This has virtually eliminated my lipo from puffing and deformed from crashes. |
