inflamed battery

I have just bort two new batterys from hobby king and one looks ok and the other is inflamed and was wondering what I should do.

Contact them straight away, and do not charge it

They will not want to know if you have charged it

Don't charge it as Chris says. Take a photo, they will need it. Post a copy up here so we can have a look too. Not sure what you mean by "inflamed"

I shall how do you put pictures on the forum

the batterys came fully charged eny way I checked them with a battery checker

They should have been at storage charge, approx 30% I think. So I would mention that as well when you make your complaint

I shall

On your next post scroll down, click "attachments" In the area below drag the image from your device/computer and place in that area. A thumbnail will appear. Now click submit. Done!

Jacob - HobbyKing used to ship their LiPo's at " Storage" Voltage which is 3.85 Volts per cell
but this changed awhile back - see next para.
If you check the packaging you will find a note saying what Voltage they are supposed to be shipped at
& they advise to charge upon receipt - ignore this on the "inflamed" one.
Also pls remember you cannot return them via the Post Office, so you will need to find a carrier,
worth checking if "Hermes" will take them - the convenience store at the top of Amesford Rd are
an agent for them.
Hope this helps.

Lipos come with about 23% - 33% (storage) charge showing if you are using your battery checker. On receipt of the batteries I use the same checker to check each cell voltage. Any big difference and I request a replacement. You are saying that the battery is "inflamed" so I assume you mean it has expanded and this was it's condition when you received it? Then this battery has a fault and should never have been in the parcel system. Don't keep it indoors either.

You have to use Hobbykings system to return or complain. They will contact you and request photos/video or whatever. Usually takes about 7 days. However, they may or may not request return of the Lipo but for safety reasons they shouldn't.

However, if you have charged it then you now have a problem as under Hobbykings terms they won't replace it.
