Hey all I have a 4s pack that was dented pretty bad on one end. the corner of all 4 cells were pushed back and bent all 4 cells. I put it aside and havent used it. It has been about a month and all 3 cells are still balanced at 3.74v each. Is this thing still safe to charge and fly????
Thanks, Noah

I'd fly it. I have a couple of packs that have battle scars, and they work just fine. A friend of mine had a pack that I couldnt believe wasnt cut in half, and it never puffed, or anything. He flew it for another monthy until he was able to replace it.
You should be good.

I would charge it outside for a couple of cycles and keep a close eye on the pack when flying it.
If it works for a couple of cycles, it should be fine.
