Errm... I was running my SCX10 ii this morning and left it on for 6 hours straight. When I first checked the battery voltage, there wasn't even enough power in the battery to power the voltage checker. I threw it on a NiMH charger to charge on 1 amp for 5 seconds multiple times, and holy moly!!!!! It's down to 2.4V per cell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a 2s, and it's a relatively new (probably not even 3 runs yet) Hoovo 5000mah hard case (cheap Amazon special). I'm charging it as a NiMH on 1 amp atm (and monitoring it in the process and starting and stopping every few seconds to check on the condition of the battery). My concern is how well does a hard case hide the puffing of the battery? And should I be concerned if it's not showing any signs of heating or puffing?
Also, the charger I'm using is a Traxxas EZ Peak, and the battery is now up to 2.6V per cell.
