Hey Guys, i had purchased 2 batteries from HK.
1 x Zippy Lightmax 4000mah 20c 3s
1 x Rhino 610 mah 20c 2s

Now the zippy lightmax is working perfect infact i charged it today morning itself was good 

But now this Rhino i never used it was planned to use but never got a chance to. Today was checking my box for all the stuffs and found that my rhino battery is puffed  dont know how it happend. Never used it never charged it. But how can this happen?? What should i do?

Also few other things that i want to knw, today i charged my 4000mah lipo for the first time.

I charged it at 1.6A is this right amps to charge this? 
Now it reached 12.6 v but it still was charging i thought i would stop at 12.6 i dont have to do nething.. Is this normal dat we have to stop charging after it reaches 12.6v? 

Satya, its happenned because of deep discharge of the cells.. when deep discharged, because of the nature of polymer salts battery become swelled.. and while using a programmable charger, we must take extra care to programme the charger in to the specific values of the batteries.. if not a wrong charge current may damage the cells.. this is why i always preset chargers.. this will take a little extra time but never hurts battery.. one of the proved charger is I Max B3.. was suing about 2 years regularly, and still works fine.. please take extra care while handling the swelled cells..

I have HK Variable 6S balance charger. What do i do now? discharge it or charge it or just dispose it?

please take a little time to read all instructions about recharging.. when you got the specific point of recharging proses it will become ever great.. its a professional charger with ample of options..

So you mean charge it..  

i think 4.20V per cell is max value. your charger should stop charging at 12.6.

Satya, i never force you, or advice you to recharge the swelled battery once.. because i have some bad experiences with swelled battery, while recharging..  so take care..

So better i dispose it?? I dont want to take any risk..

hi guys my lipo 1450mpa battery has been puffed during charging......
but only one leaf has been puffed
what can i do now
can i use this battery or bin it!!!!!

@satyagupta and @mohit, dispose the batt. Not worth the risk. Next time, charge ur lipo with the 'storage charge' option if u dont plan to use it fr sometime. Also, it is advisable to charge and discharge the batt @least once a month. Preventive maintenance! Cheers.  

Bin the puffed cell and use the rest

Dear all,
With Lipo battery is never adviced to take risk, as mentioned above In a fellow modeller post that one should be very care while setting up you charger with correct no of cells, charge current and the capacity of the battery. Whenever you notice that your Lipo battery has been puffed up, it's highly adviced to dispose it and get yourself a new pack. Today most advance chargers comes with storage program, this means if you don't want to use your battery for long then just input the correct data of your battery in your charger and press start, then charger in return charges or discharges the battery to 60%, that is the approx voltage that a Lipo battery can be stored.
