haha i did say to the owner of the store when i bought it (thats really puffy) he noticed also and he said "if you have any problems take it back and i will replace it"

im pretty sure it was going to vent some more because it was puffed up before i put it outside (hence the bang noise one of the cells exploded but no fire luckily) so i figured the other two would be highly volatile so for a safety matter and also a pyro matter i thought i would finish it off

i reckon it was the charger... put the charger on a voltmeter and it was putting out 15 volts

yeah i know.. after the first fizzle went off i was not expecting a second
+ i was tired as ****... good thing gta vc was on my iphone or else the house may have caught a-light
anyway.... im buying a balance reputable charger that is in my shed in a spot where it does not matter if it catches fire... (in the middle of a sandstone brick)

nice work Mate had a little heli a while ago that caught fire on his kitchen bench while charging... Good thing he was home at the time. After that any of my China RC's i always watch and keep them nearby when charging now.... Even just b4 christmas the wife came home with a baby optic fibre lamp, initailly it didn't work so i had a look and while i was playing i noticed the batter pack getting extremely hot, then a burning smell...

atleast it was not a bang or the smell of vinegar and acid
i bought a new charger aswell a balance one name: altamax pro 6amp
the new plane is sexy and has a larger edf

Dangerous things them!!! Think the new Boeing Dreamliner has a few in them failing.

I always charge my plane battery outside, same reason I don't trust the li-on batteries at all and your video shows just why!
