Swollen battery
Hello
After a good year I decided to use my little rc helicopter again. Since I lost the given cable I used an old nokia charger with the same voltage ratings as as a pc port and a maximum current rating of 100mA. Now after charging a while and testing the chopper I noticed it didn't have the power to lift itself up high so I charged it again for maybe 2 hours. After 2 hours the same thing happened , no power.
Now I decided to check under the hood for the battery and noticed that it was pretty swollen or think it is swollen. Its a small 150mAh 3.7 cell . Is this battery toast and if it is , is it because the battery was completly drained for more than a year or because of the use of the nokia charger?
Thanks in advance
