I was just connecting my 3S pack to the BC6 and I made a Boo Boo. I accidentally touched the black lead from the charger to the red lead on the battery. It was only for a half-second. The was a spark, a puff of smoke, and a lingering acrid smell. The smoke seemed to come from the point where the lead made contact. The battery looks good still, with no visible damage whatsoever.

Any thoughts?

:arggg:

Charge it (OUTDOORS) and see how it is. You probably did some damage, ut if it charges and works fine, it may have a shorter life and slightly less capacity.

But keep a CLOSE eye on it for a few cycles.
