Your opinion on this lipo??

[Desert Rc]

So I killed a MMM by landing on the lid of my xt8 and just got her back. Then I was remounting everything and then I noticed this might good puncture in the casing of my Neu....i was really bummed. I am figuring its toast as I can see black matter. I have yet to have a damaged lipo like this so I figured I would ask your opinion. I guess I can look into how to break it down to a 2s, but I am imagining its def toast as a 4s...right??

whats the voltage at?

Dont think this is the case but maybe the neu packs have a black protective coating over their cells. So all you did was chunk up the coating, not the actual cells.

Neu batteries use a silver/aluminum looking wrap/foil on their lipos. I think you punctured the cell by the looks of it. Remove the wrap and see if it was indeed punctured.

[squeeforever]

That is indeed punctured. I'd be careful with it...

[Desert Rc]

Yes the black is definitely under the foil...So do I just dispose of or take apart to get the 2s??

[riverat1540]

i would take off the bad cell and make a 2s pack unless u run 3s in anything and keep the other cell as a spare. if u need more info contact linc

I do run 3s in my sct's so maybe that is the best option. I guess not a total loss then.

[BrianG]

Ditto. I would definitely remove that cell and make it a 3s. What did you land on to puncture it like that???

[Desert Rc]

I dunno, i wondered that myself....it was all a blur after I saw my splay open MMM...then I started to cry as I sat on the ground rocking back and forth like a crazy person.
