    Just so anyone knows I will buy/take any damage, drained, puffed lipos.  Alot of the time only a few cells are damaged and not the whole pack.  I will also repair most lipos for a VERY small fee.

    It's yours for free Sinistercad.  I think you revived a Common Sense RC LiPo I gave Chad a couple years ago that puffed on me.  I don't think this LiPo is puffed, it almost looks like a hit on the corner like a drop but like I said I don't know, or at least don't remember what happened.

    How do I get it to you?

    Well I do not mind paying for them as they do have some worth in my eyes.  What's your work schedule like?

    I was in town today, needed some Traxxas connectors from Mild To Wild.  Tomorrow doesn't look good for me, but if possible I am planning to go to the place on Spalding Saturday with my freshly repaired Hyper 10SC, just not sure of the time because my girl wants to go too and she might be working in the morning.  Of course the weather will have to cooperate also.  I could meet you there or somewhere in town Saturday.

    I am happy to give it to you.  I would just discard it and I know you will be able to either use it for repairing or to demonstrate LiPo safety to some skeptics.  This thing was in a spare bedroom for who knows how long and didn't cause a fire so I have to think it is either still good, or at the very least could be used somehow.  Maybe to remove the kinked cell like you mentioned and create a 7.4 volt battery.  The wires and connector look like it was hardly used.

    I plugged in my battery checker and I get nothing on cell one, and about 4 volts each on cells two and three.

    I work literally all the time so meeting up may be a complication lol.  I had figured at worst only one set of cells would be damaged.  Tell me a good time and place and we can set something up.

    I need to go to Mild to Wild this afternoon sometime.  If that works for you I could bring it with me.

    Did you get a chance to look at the battery?  Let me know what you end up doing with it.
