I have 4 batteries. 3 of them are from the Fly More combo bought in January/2018 (when I was living in NYC)
Those 3 flymore combo batteries was manufactured Oct/2017. The other Sept/2018.
All 3 fly more combo batteires was swollen - they´re about 40 cycles eatch one.
(Observation: I have seen a lot of cases of M.A. swollen batteries - make me think a production fault)
Now I am living in Brazil, and here, batteries are very expensive (about 150USD each). So to change all 3 I would expend almost 500USD.
Problably it´s not advised, but carefully, I oppened all 3 batteries (they are not glued - just docked) and punctured the cells (3) metal sleeves. Some gas out (smells funny), taped the holes and closed the batteries.
Swell is solved and the batteries are working okay.
What do you think about this? Crazyness? It´s okay? A time-bomb?
