Stuffed battery

Post by RussellB[SA] »

Mates battery blew up like a balloon. ( no explosion) I figure it's overcharged.

Any thoughts?

Check the charging voltage and !!!

It looks like it has been over-charged. Tell your mate to check his charger before he hooks up his new battery. What sort of charger was he using?

Yep! Keep charging it and it will become a balloon.
