Got my heli fixed! read through the manual and found a "training mode" makes things less sensitive. Helped me out a lot.

I CAN FLY NOW!

 

It's amazing what you will find in an instruction manual, if you'll take the time and read through it.

 

instruction manuals are for girls and queers.

 

Oh yeah, you have seemed to have picked up something from the manual, so, hmmmm?

Anybody care to help a LiPo noob out? See below - this was posted over on RCC which is kind of dead during the day.

It's quite noticeable when you set the battery down on a flat surface, you can rock it back and forth. I've tried squeezing it a little bit to see if I can get any air to come out and nothing...probably because I siliconed the shit out of it.

Just want to be sure this thing isn't going to explode one day. It hasn't gotten any worse, at least that I can tell and I've probably put it through three cycles since I first noticed it.

Thanks for the help!

I doubt the silicone had/has any effect on the swelling. The hard case is not airtight and in place as a puncture barrier only. The cells inside are in foil pouches that ARE sealed, this is where the swelling is happening. I can't say why that one pack has issues, but I've got one that's swollen a bit as well, it was never treated any differently than the other packs. It still runs/charges fine but takes for ever to balance. Keep a eye on it, you'll be fine.

 

This one doesn't behave any different than the others when balancing, right around 72 minutes after a decent run.

I guess I'll just be even more diligent about keeping it in the LiPoSack when I store/charge it. I just hope it doesn't explode while it's in the truck!

What I've found with my Gens Ace packs is pretty much:.. Some swell a little, some don't. They all work the same.

 

How's the heli training going?

 

That makes me feel better. Thanks for posting up!

It's going. I'm starting to really get the hang of it. Waiting for this wind to die down so i can fly outside.

 

It's a challenge, that's why it's so fun I thnk.
