I crashed my Razor today with two FP4350's,
My question is - batteries survived crash, but I noticed a few dents in the silver lining of the battery and looked slightly bent - but not really noticeable,
I let the batteries sit outside for an hour or so and they seem to be ok,
what kind of impact can these batteries handle and how do I know if they are still safe to just sit around. They seem to be stable,
Thank you,
Jeff

you could try charging them in a safe, fireproof place and monitor them while charging to see if they will accept a charge, and if your charger can, cycle them a few times so you are 100% sure that they won't burn while in your heli.

Watch for leakage or deformation. Check the voltage of the packs and see if you can find any fluxuations in voltage of the cells that got the brunt of the impact.
Sniff them and see if you can smell a sweet smell on either pack.

If there is an issue, or you don't feel safe using them, contact steve.rogers@flightpowerusa.com for warranty 50% off for new one(s).
