I charged it for about two hours (or at least i think i did) and the packages that make up the battery kind of expanded, whats up with that?
Your lucky you caught it when you did, you almost had a fire. You over charged the battery, that's why it swelled up. I would throw that charger in the garbage before you burn the house down. That battery is probably toast now. You should get yourself a peak charger, so when your battery is charge it will kick off. The Hobbico Quick Field Charger MKII is a good charger, and it is cheap to buy. The only down fall is, it's a 12 volt charger, so you will need a 12 battery to run it or a 12 volt wall adapter. Lipo batteries can be very dangerous if you don't have the right charger to charge them.
