Possible glowing red edge on RC plane battery
galleryHello - I have an RC aircraft with a 2200 mAh, 11.1V LiPo battery. I’m new to the RC aircraft world, and I will admit I have crashed my aircraft a few times. While repairing it this time around, I noticed the edge of one of the batteries seems to be protruding just barely more than the other one, and is almost glowing red? This is only an issue on the first battery, my second one seems to have no issues. Neither seem to be swelling. I am not certain if this is the battery I pulled from the aircraft after my most recent crash, but I know I have charged both recently.
Is this something to be concerned about?
Thanks for your help.
Also, sorry for the quality in the pics related - They were taken using a long exposure mode on my phone to get a little exaggeration of the brightness, for ease of viewing. It’s slightly darker in real life.
