Yup when the A123 dump, it's basically empty. As of late I've vented a couple of my A123's from pulling an overdose of amps in my crt.5. It has a funny smell, but there are no fires and whatnot. When they are overheated at around 160F, they lose some capacity. I'm sure lifecycle goes down quite a bit.

I have one 3s1p pack now in the crt.5 that overheated quite a few time. Once cell voltage is lower than the rest. But I still get 1800mah out before the pack loses its marbles. And under max throttle it still puts out 7.3V(nomadio telemetry).
