how did it happen?

man, looks like you hit a damn twig or somthing dead on :P

Don't really know, I just noticed it a couple of days ago. I guess it is from the hard bashing and the battery was moving around a little bit.

If just the covering was punctured you should be fine, if the cell was punctured the battery should be properly discarded.

You could always rewire it as a 2 cell.

the silver stuff got punctured. I just put clear tape over it.

I think it will be fine but dont blame it on me if it blows :)

RE: Tiny rip in lipo battery
 

lol, don't they ballon first before they blow?

normally they do, but lipos can be rather unpredictable. if in doubt, just buy a new one;) it doesnt look like you need a new one at this point, but down the road if it continues to rip than a new battery could save you fire damage later.

You have to be easy on it now, dony let it fly out of the car. I have done that to my lipo mini times nothing really happends.
