I bought some of the EP 4200 mk II cells assembled for me by the seller and I was discharging and equalising them before charging them for the very first time. A cell in one of the packs exploded whilst I was discharging it, fortunately on a hard coffee table in my living room and the shrapnel was stopped by my armchair.
I returned the pack to the supplier and he replaced it no questions asked and I didn't have any trouble with any of them after that but it does make you think. I'm running nitro now but I never charged at more than 5 amps and like I said these hadn't even had one charge in them, I was discharging at 20 amps to 5.4 volts.
