Hi -
Went flying, went to charge my battery, heard a 'crunching' sound when I plugged it in. Didn't fly near any sand/dirt/etc, so strange. Just purchased this battery a few weeks ago.
After charging, looked close up - and it seems like there are/were some small tiny particles, almost look like tiny clear crystals.
Is there something wrong with the battery? Is it safe to fly? Or.......... what could have caused that? I don't "think" it would be sand/dirt, etc - because don't see it anywhere else. So it was very peculiar to see that. Cleared most of it off, but realized should take a picture, so sending a picture too.
Is the battery leaking? Or...... what woudl that be from?
It looks like tiny black & clear crystal particles.
Thanks.
EDIT: Just realized it appears to be silica gel, from the small silica gel package that was in the case (the package appears to be slightly punctured, and had some tiny 'beads' in the package)... If some got on the battery, will that affect it at all? What is the best way to clean it up? Thanks!
