Default Expanding Li-Po?

Hey guys, I got a Li-Po battery about two or three months ago, used it a bit, broke my Micro-T's transmission, and now just took a look at it. I did leave it charged before it stored it away, but does it look like this Li-Po expanded?

Some cheaper li-po packs don't have vents and don't allow gasses to escape hence the swelling.

I think its alright. It looks to be the same as when you purchased it. Here is a pic from when I first received it brand new and unused (had two they both looked the same). I'd practice precautions as normal with lipo batteries.

Yeah, not much risk if you follow the right precautions.

I put mine in a metal tin with sand in it
