Here a quick pic of some lipos I just finished. The 4 on the lest are a broken up 10s pack- 2 2s and 23s packs. The other 2 were packs with one damaged cell that I removed.
Linc-
My buddy made me a parallel adapter. I hooked up one side to my MMM. It turned on. It was nice. I unplugged the battery and plugged it into the other side. *poof* Magic smoke. The adapter was mis-wired. Thankfully (don't know how) the MMM survived. The smoke came from the battery pack. I assume a main pack lead burnt, or atleast cooked a little. No swelling. I haven't volt metered it or anything, It just scares me now. Even if I open it up and find (or don't find) a problem I don't have the stuff or ability to reshrink it. I think it desires to be stripped and man handled by you. PM me your addy if you're up for another lipo repair.
It's a 15c 6s 5000mah flightmax. Slightly cooked.....
