Hi Mike,
Thanks for your help.
Read about that salt water thing myself, but will proceed with caution on that as it needs to be completely flattened charge-wise in order to salt it.

I think I have resigned myself to the fact that the battery is useless now, but I still wonder why it happened.

The only reason I can find out online is that they can swell if the current being drawn from them is more than they can handle.
As I was only setting the motor to 50% I thought this wasnt an issue, but do modern brushless motors actually draw more current at mid speeds rather than full speed?
