Re: Venom lipo Venom are great for customer service. I have had quite a few batteries over the years swell up. Always been reserved at using them but in weakness (just need to go flying) have used them and never had a problem! Yeah, leaking is not correct. But swollen is not always bad - take your chances but i don't worry about them. Pretty batteries fail more often then they should also. |

Re: Venom lipo If it is leaking that sweet smelling fluid then a cell has been unsealed and you should safely dispose of it asap. (ie. risk of fire) I've heard first hand of Venom having great customer service. I would suggest contacting them with your story and see what happens. Worth a shot. The last guy I heard that had a problem called them, they said to send a pic with the battery in a bucket of salt water - which he did - and they sent him a brand new replacement. Good luck. J |

Re: Venom lipo Pulled the battery out tonight to see how it was doing, Wow! What a porker it is now and leaking fluid too! |

Re: Venom lipo I'm going to give it a try, I can't return it as I don't have a receipt. I have a 3 cell 1100mAh pack that a co-worker ran stone dead twice and it is still performing well after 3 years. |

Re: Venom lipo I run them fully charged all the time too and never had that problem. I've had them slowly expand when they get old and lots of use. I still use them and maybe over a period of a yr,(mind you, this might be a 5 or 6 yr.old batt)they get disposed of when they get too fat and lose capacity, high resistance, short motor runs. |

Re: Venom lipo Whaaat?? It puffed up just like that? Usually they puff like that if stored fully charged. So question: When he gave it to you 2 months ago, did you check the cell voltage? If you did, was it at storage charge or was it fully charged? |

Venom lipo I have a brand new never used Venom 6 cell 2500mAh lipo battery that is puffed up. I gave one of my batteries to a young fellow along with a motor and speed controller with the understanding that if it suited his plane - just replace them for me next chance you get. This is the replacement he bought. It was fine when he gave it to me so I just put it away. I took it out today and this is what it looks like 2 months later! So I'm thinking that it went dead - no, it had over 23 volts and took 1500mAh to top it up so it was not dead. Are these things junk? |
