Default lipo swelling

I recently bought 2 sets of vampire 4400 40c lipo saddles. First set is fine but then i went to use the second set and my speedo started beeping. I had noticed slight swelling on one of the cells. Went to balance the cells and it came up with "low voltage". Got these second hand and just wondering what to do. Can i still use them?

Thanks

Sam

were they swollen when you got them, or have only swollen recently?

If they were swollen when you got it then i would go back to the seller. If you have used them a few times and it has just suddenly swollen then there isn't much you can do. I wouldn't recommend still using them.

then he should agree to a refund. NOBODY should sell swollen lipos. Very bad form.

If he is claiming they are damaged in transit then he should make the claim for you, presuming he has proof of postage

The seller is fine with it, he done me a great deal trying to help me out. the other pack has very little swelling and its only on one of the pair on both sets so could you make 1 good out of both pairs?
