Just wondered what everyone is experiencing with different LiPo batteries and having them puff up on you. I have about 35 E-Flight batteries, from 3S-4S-6S 2500mah to 5000mah, and another 35 Admirals 4S-6S, 3000mah to 5000mah and about 40% of my E-FLight's are puffed. None of my Admiral's are puffed. I fly mostly prop, but do have a 90mm jet that I will only put Admirals in. I have also tried Kinesis, Thrust and Venom batteries, but at least one of each of those have puffed up. I never discharge them below 30% (usually 40%), store them in a cool place at or near 50%, and slow charge them at 50% amps of the rating. I do fly in Florida where the ambient temp is 85-90 degrees, but have opened extra air vents with scoops on all my planes to keep a good airflow over the batteries, ESC and speaker systems. I started out using only E-Flight, but over the last couple years virtually everything is Admiral now, primarily because the cost of the E-Flight (and especially Venom's) are considerably higher and with the Admirals, never a puffed battery and the balance between the cells is always within .015 volts.
Just wondering what the rest of you are experiencing.
