No warning with mine whatsoever. That's what makes it so worrying. Thankfully, it was a small battery. Can you imagine this with a 6S 5500 or even bigger?! Oof. Not cool.Was there any hint of it being a bad pack? Or even charger?
The smoke and vapours that come off them can be quite nasty!
The other lesson I learnt was:
Don't charge up lipos inside the model - no matter how much of a faff it might be to reattach the battery. In the Heli, I'd positioned the battery for correct CoG, then basically destroyed it with fire.
