ParkZone 11.1V 1800mAh LiPo Battery Pack (Corsair)

I used this battery in a Parkzone Radian glider. The battery fits nicely in the Radian. I have been meticulous about balancing the Lipo and never running it down below 10 volts. Unfortunately, I only got about 10 - 12 cycles out of it before one of the three cells went bad. I had a Parkzone 1100mAh battery that came with the Radian and it died prematurely too. For that reason, I certainly don't recommend the batteries but I like Parkzones aircraft.

11.1V 1800mAh 3S LiPo Battery This battery came with my ParkZone Reliant RC airplane. I was able to use it only about 5 times before it expanded in its packaging. This is an indication of a potentially dangerous battery failure.

I took the battery out of the airplane and am now looking for a proper way to dispose of it.

It looks like another inexpensive piece of Chinese junk gone bad. I would prefer to pay a little more for an American made product that would last longer. The cheapest price isn't always the lowest price, in the long run.
