Lipo is it still good???

[johnnyo7]

I was soldering my EC5 on my lipo and when I went to put the negative lead brass tip on the ec5 I nicked the positive lead and got a small spark. Both wires touched briefly. Does that mean the battery is no good?? When I connect a volt meter I get proper voltage still. This is a pulse 3700 6S 45c battery.

No issue. Been there, done that.
Heat kills LiPo's. That short spark did not create much heat inside the LiPo.

I hooked it up to my charger and all seems well. All cells balanced. Thanks guys

Check it over a few days to see any one cell voltage drops. Most of us have made that mistake before. Way back when.. I cut the main leads off at the same time.. duh.... that pack was ruined because the leads kindof soldered themselves to the wire cutter and things got a little smokey. It was just a 3s2000mah lipo.
