Lipo Damage?

[What's_nitro?]

The corner of the cell looks like it's torn open...............that isn't a "dent".

EDIT: I agree with What's_nitro, maybe it's just the pic but it looks like more than a dent.

No it was not ignorance. It was giving a good deal to a RCM member. The package I sold was a good price. I passed those 6s lipos onto Obeast for 50 less then I paid only a couple week prior. Secondly I am a reputable saler on all the forums including ebay. If I make a mistake I admit it and make it right. The lipos is fine but if the buyer isn't happy I don't have any problems refunding the item for any reason. Unless they fry the Futaba 3pm I sell them and say it arrived that way. Old ebay wound.

I did have the lipo here in my hand not less then a week ago. It was not a hole then and I don't see how it could be one now. I packed them in nice and tight in the box with the charger and power supplies. It's tough to make a judgement call looking at a picture and not getting the rest of it of the facts of the deal or condition of the sale. The picture makes it look bad but is it damaged or did he actually just get two basically new (3 cycles) 6s 5000mah lipo for 50 off the sticker price. Then on to the idiot that tried to pass off a new lipo. You guys just jumped to the conclusion it was someone trying ot scam Obeast and take his money. I can understand because we do try and take care of one another here. Don't we? So passing on a good buy to another member is usuaully one of the ways we do it.

Anyways enought time spent here. It's all mood point now..... or is it.


Since I am getting out of the hobby I will not be able to test the lipo and report back to tell anyone if it was a bomb or a great buy. So I will need a volunteer from the RCM forum that has been here for at least a year. Someone who post often enought and has a rc setup for 6s lipo. If obeast return the lipo I will send the volunteer the lipo in question under the condition you give it hell and use the crap out of it. Then 6 months come back and let us know if it took a dump or not and which cell it was.

Any volunteers brave enough to charge and run a 6s 5000mAh 30c lipo with some damage on the corner?

If you still need someone to do this I am your man Guy. I have the equipemt to charge and monitor the lipo. I too have run dentend lipos, and never had issues. If the foil is breached you can usually cover it up (with the mentioned foil tape) and you may notice a small loss in capacity, or not. Depends. Never lipos deal with the rigors of rc use much better than the old ones. I do not see so many puffed lipos these days.
