im an idiot! -

well i was just soldering a deans plug onto my lipo after soldering the first plug abit i noticed it had melted slightly and it was hard to slot the male plug in so i decided to solder another plug on
this time i plugged in the male plug that is on my charge lead so the connectors could not move inside the plastic when it got hot(my iron is a bit overkill for plugs...100watt) i was very careful not to have both wires bare at the same time, one always had hearshrink on
i soldered the plug on and it was fine but when i losened the plugs from the vice(use it to gold the plugs still while soldering) the two bannana connectors on the end of the charge lead attached to the battery touched and short circuited the battery for literaly a millisecond
the lipo seems ok, no puffing or anything like that
so the question is, is it still ok to use???
i cant beleive i didnt notice the bannana plugs on the end... they are ruined now realy
where the bannana plugs touched they are black and rough and part of the posotive connector has actualy been blown off!!! shows how much power these batterys have
well im feeling like a complete idiot at the moment, thanks for any replies :)
