Status: offline 		This forum is just too unique for a cheap and good stuff. The zippy Lipo will work fine, I personally own x5 11.1v 2200mah 20c cheap Lipo (all only cost me $20 each) offered by hobbycity and they all work out for me so far. Just remember that you are paying only $20 bucks for a Lipo, I mean how bad can it go? Plus they have a 30days no puff refund, and their customer service is great. Unless you wants to go for a $40-$80 Lipo for the same specs that I have, that will for sure 100% work out.

Status: offline 		Now I would like to know why the forum does not allow hobbycity links. My link had to do with a certain company's attitude toward lipo puffing.
Are there any members who know what causes puffing? I've had cells puff after one flight and others last for many many flights then suddenly puff. I guess it's CO2 gas that is released in the chemical reaction, but that's strictly a guess.

Status: offline 		I would like to think its due to the cells not being properly balanced before charging. Ends up one cell gets overcharged and puffs it up but I could be wrong on just how that all works as I'm old and still think batteries are magic and operated by spirits...same as the gyros on some helis

Status: offline 		Maybe it is a balancing issue, but I always charge on a balance charger, and I've seen the cells puff during a flight . or at least show a dramatic change from preflight to postflight. How dangerous is it to continue to use a puffed pack ? I think heat is a major factor in puffing because the packs I pull from the heli that show puffing are pretty warm.
