Default LiPo Q

Did a couple speed runs with my DF 16" hydro. 3695kv motor, 2200 11.1v 3s 25c LiPo, 90a esc, BEC, and Octura 435 prop. Motor and esc not that warm. Battery was warm to hot.

Battery was swollen/puffed up about 1/8 inch top and bottom. It still took a charge. Did not use it yet. Never had this problem with aircraft/heli LiPo's. Still new to boats.

Is it safe to use? I have two other batteries as backups.

Just got my radar gun today. Now I can see how fast she is.

Thanks!
