Default Oops, I over charged the lipo...

I have a Orion 2S Lipo and I fully charged it last night. I forgot about it and charged it again today for 1 hour again and it took another 500mAh. Is the lipo bad?

I had a dream last night that one of my lipos over charged, and I ran it outside and it shot flames like 30 feet in the air.

Most chargers won't over charge a lipo, mine cuts off 8.4v every time, regardless if it's charged or not.

yeah since it only took 500mha, is good sign, cuz that means the charger saw that it was pretty full, the first few times that i had my lipo i was only putting 1500-3000mha in it due to heat issues and parts breakage...
