bloating lipo batteries

[tomato]

Just curious to know if anyone faces the same problem as i do, but i tend to come across one or 2 bloated lipo batteries after a charge despite them being a new pack.

is this like some natural cause of lipo batteries to go bonkers or is there a problem with my charging method cuz i use a balancer for all my charges =o(

Do not fully charge your lipo and store them. I keep mine at around 3.8v - 4v per cell. Have encounter lipo bloating for no reason when i store them at full capacity.

Measure the cell voltage through the balancer plug after you charge the batt, just to make sure the charger/balancer isn't faulty.

A faulty charger/balancer may have incorrect readings, therefore causing over/under charging which may damage your batt.
