LiPo-pack swollen after blade tracking

[MadHans]

Hi!

I just tracked the blades on my trex450sev2 with the heli tied down. When I was done, I recognized that my stock align 3s 2100mAh pack was SWOLLEN! So I paniced and secured the pack in a fireproof container. And now I dont even wanna touch it or sure not be in the same room. The pack was not warm or hot. It´s been a while since I charged it ( of course with a balancer), but I don´t beleive that the pack has discharged itself in such a relatively short time (2 weeks or so)...? Maybe I´ve got it all wrong here?
Is the pack ruined? In that case, what´s the best way to ruin and get rid the pack in a secure way? If it´s not ruined, what do I do next? What have I done wrong??

Appreciate any help

Best regards
Hans Jacob

Well number one. Where did you get the idea to tie the heli down?

I would guess you were pulling so many amps you puffed the pack.

The pack is done. Take a picture of it then throw it in a salt water bath for 24 hours.

Orbetter yet...charge it back up and then run some long cables from it and short them out,watch the show then give it the salt water bath:)

Or check out this Thread, you may be able to get replacement battery from Align. I just got mine back from them this week.
