Default lipo case unglued

What is an ok glue to use on a lipo if the case comes unglued? Is just super glue ok?

I don't think it's due to swelling, although it definitely has a slight bulge!?

Is this on a pack of Nosrams as I have had the case come apart after this weekends racing at Silverstone.. LIPO is fine, just the red casing has come away. It's held together with tape now.

For January I'm prob going to get two of the following
Speed Passion
Vampire Racing
Epic
??? recommendation.

Superglue does glue most plastic...so would probably glue that ok I would guess.

I'd be tempted to use something that's not thin like tyre glue though so that it doesn't flow inside the lipo case and glue everything it finds!!!

Mikey, I've had vampires in my B44 for over a year now with no noticable degredation in performance...will chuffed with them. Now got one in my X6 as well. Lovely

Both my LRP 5300's have come open. Problem is its the case that holds the conection tubes. Ive taped mine up for now but I'd rather glue them. All my LRP packs have swelled under normal use and 1c charge rate . Not had any problem with my 4 year old Orion pack or cheap core 5000's.

Haha I did use the brush glue too!

I'll just have to be careful how I set my battery posts as I now have the one cell 0.2mm thicker than the others! Teaches me for buying abroad, if I bought in the uk I could send it back!
