Default swellon lipo batteries - any idea how to reduce it?

My 2 Turnigy Nano-tech Ultimate shorty 90c is slightly swollen. My esc is dualsky 870 with vampire 8.5T motor in blinky mode. so they cant draw much.

Any idea how to reduce the swell? Overnight in Fridge/freezer? any old skoool tricks? Or do I have to perform any voodoo rituals dances to reduce the swelling of those batteries or is it bin time for those?

Those batteries has no loss in the performace at all.

No way to reverse swell. But if it's very minor it's probably not worth worrying about.

Keep a close eye on them though.

Also might be worth trying to work out if you've done anything to cause them to swell.
Things like over discharging, storing charged, charging too fast........ Probably others, but my minds gone blank.

If it is only slight don't worry keep an eye on it if the pack still has good punch, if not replace it . Don't be stupid and try any advise that used sharp tool near it
One wrong nick and u have a flame that will cause more damage then u buying another £40 nano tech

Lipo batteries are safe if u do what manufacturers say ,most peoples batteries blow up due to them dicking about with it

I have 5 packs of these and zero swelling on any of them, maybe instead of trying to get rid of the swelling (pissing in the wind)

concentrate on it not happening again

I have seen One go bang first hand. It's not pleasant. A small amount of swelling should be ok as long as long as you keep an eye on it, but any more than a slight swelling, just get rid of them.
