You died way to young in life!

So, I accidentally killed this 2S lipo the other day and I thought you guys might want to see the inside of it and how its put together if youve never torn a pack apart before.

Someone on the Arrma forums killed one of their lipos, they completely discharged it and took apart the cells those look rather interesting on the inside. Once he opened up the cells he could tell which ones were bad he said the cells just crumbled like leafs.

Pretty interesting. You should do this with all your dead batts!

I've opened up a cell once before and it was just a mess and I wasn't sure how toxic the chemicals inside are so I didnt really mess with it much. Just a bunch of thin layers of cathodes, anodes, separator sheets, and electrolyte material.
