A couple weeks ago, as I was headed out to the field, I made a bonehead mistake. I packed up all my batteries, for the day, into my ammo box. Upon latching said box, I pinched the balancing port wires of one in the lid. Causing sparking, some smoking, and a hot battery. I got an extension, cut it in half, and spliced the new end on. I was sure to keep the wires in line when splicing. Although when I plugged it into the charger I just get a message that my cell count is too high.. or something along those lines. My charger will allow me to charge without the balance plug (quick charge), but when I tried that it just charges until the 1st cell reaches 420 while the lowest cell shows 413. Then a mixed level, in between those, two among the other cells.
So my question to any and all is; Is the battery safe to use on a quick charge not balanced, or should I just continue to kick myself in the arse and let it go?
