Why? That's in the beginners guide to LiPos, store with a storage charge or after they've been used............

Quite probably. I've run very slightly/just visibly swollen cells for months. When they go properly, its painfully obvious. Can't get the battery strap down, the side of the case cracks etc etc. You just need to keep a close eye on them. Check after every run/charge type thing.

What sort of cells are they (brand/capacity) as i've found that the really high capacity cells have a lot more "stuff" inside them, so even a very very slight swell, that is perfectly normal, can make the case look dodgy.
