Great video. I have only been in the hobby about a year and have often wondered what I should do once one of my batteries go bad. Thanks to you I googled your recommended search and discovered I have a Batteries Plus Bulbs 15 minutes from my house. I never knew it existed. Thank you again for putting out quality informative videos.

[@RCPhysics]

Thank you! I'm happy it was helpful.

I took two slightly puffed 1s batteries to Batteries+. They charged me more than I paid to buy 6 of the batteries. Guy said the cost was due to State regulations for Lipo's.

[@RCPhysics]

Really? What state are you in. I had to pay (as you saw in the video) but the cost was minimal here.
You can find alternate recycling centers at this link. www.call2recycle.org
It's important to dispose of Lithium cells properly because cells that are just thrown in the trash can rupture while being handle on their way to a landfill and can cause really nasty fires.

[@MichaelDFPV]

@@RCPhysics OH I paid them but have not taking the time to look for someone else to recycle my lipo's. I have just been putting them in a firesafe until I find another place to recycle.
I live in PA.
