Multi charge leads
I was charging an 800mah 2S battery via the JST connector on my multi-charge lead. After the charge was finished, I went to unplug the battery and dragged it toward me over my bench, when the lipo started fizzing and smoking. I suspect the Tplug that wasn't in use at the time shorted out on a pen clip. The effect is as good as shorting out a Lipo across it's terminals.
The terminals have melted and the lipo has puffed so I've junked the battery. To avoid this in the future, I took an unused T connector and covered the terminals in silicone. When you look at all the leads on the harness, if a short is going to happen, it's going to be on the T connector with those exposed terminals sticking out.
