Hi, could someone be able to give me some advice on what to do with my LIPO. I just broke my balance plug during a flight and only realised once I unplugged the battery after flight. I brought it in to the bench to have a look at it then two of the cell wires must have made contact and it was sparking. I just yanked them out the connector to stop them touching and rushed outside with the battery just to be safe. I now have all the pins out the balance plug and covered in electrical tape.
I was going to fit a new plug and see if anything dramatic had happened to the cell voltage which might indicate more permanent damage but when I got to the third wire I found it had been melted off inside the rubber insulation.
There is still a short length of wire sticking out but there is a layer of white powder over it (probably just burnt stuff) so I could still fit a new balance plug.
Do you think it is still ok to use or best to find somewhere safe to put it until it can be disposed of?
Thanks in advance.
