Swelling on lrp shorty

[Andywoods]

Hi just wondering if this is a common problem with lrp shortys , mine are swollen After 2 months of use, i always balance charge . I will never buy lrp again after the problems ive had with them .

Hi mate, i run LRP shortys as well, my 4400 has slight swelling and is soft, my 4500 is just starting, no issues with the batteries though.

I agree there is no issue with performance but its getting to the stage where i cant get them in the car , never again with lrp iam going back to using orion.

I've found out that swelling is normally caused when the battery has been recharged when it's still warm/hot. This was the case with my Orion that swelled.
Have either of you charged a warm pack?

Exactly the same problem with my lrp shorties.I have four that have swelled.Only had them since the start of the regionals about three months now.Each one has only been charged a maximum of twenty times,each one balanced charged and storage charged in between race meetings.Only got them because we cannot run with the nano tech's at our regional series.But have had no problems with the nano tech's in the three years i have been using them,and they still have got loads of punch.
