Default Puffed pack?

Hi,

I've been flying the align lipo pack that came with my TRex450SE v2 for about 15 cycles, and I was wondering something.

I've read about puffed packs and I was wondering what exactly does it means? I noticed that after a normal flight of hovering and a little FF for about 6-7 minutes, my pack gets quite warm and puffs a little bit. I also noticed that the pack itself seems to be soft after usage. Like if the stuff inside was melting a little, but after a little while, it cools off and gets back to the original state. (no more puffed and no more soft). Other that that, my lipo seeems really efficient. I get consistent good power for 6-7 timed flights.

So, is all of this normal? When a pack is puffed or not good anymore, does it means its puffed and soft all the time?

As always, thanks in advance for your answers!

Mat
