Dented Lipo...?
ok, so while doing some 15 ft high jumps with my converted nitro rustler (now running a vxl on 3s) my lipo got dented. It is a 3s pack and from what it looks like, it just dented the top cell. I dont think its a puncture. I heard to charge them slow when this happens so i charged it on 2 amps. it has not gotten hot or swelled or anything, and all the cell voltages are still very close. is there anything else i should be aware of?
Thanks a lot,
Dean

If you don't wanna get a new one, just watch it carefully and charge it outside. Maybe try a charge/discharge cycle or two on your charger.
I guess if it's taking a charge, and it discharges ok, then you should be ok.
