Battery shorted!?

[Origineelreclamebord]

Hi everyone,

I had a big problem with my electronics. I wired up my battery (Team Orion 2s 4600mAh 45C) to my car and there was a huge spark at the connector (TRX) when I tried to connect it. The plates of the connectors were pretty warm afterwards (easily still touchable though). Half an hour ago I tried to start the car but it seems dead.

I tried other electronics, but they do not work with the same battery, so the battery is probably dead. I can't try the other electronics but I am afraid it will be awfully silent there as well. Am I right thinking this?

All electronics (except for the receiver, Futaba R603FS) were bought in August and have had less than 25 runs in total. Is it realistic that I can get broken units repaired or replaced on warranty? (Savöx SC-1251MG, Castle 1406 4600kV+Sidewinder V2 and the Team Orion battery).

PS: I've always taken good care of the battery, charging it with the balancer plug connected, so I really can't understand how this could've happened.
