Dude I have several of these batteries and don't have an issue. Whatever you are doing is causing this

I’ve done nothing but treat this battery well since I got it. Trust me, it’s not something I did. I had another one (the same model) which was practically brand new (less than a month old) when it started to do it. It’s not me, it’s the flawed design.

​@@FalconfireRC the messed up wraping on the battery tells me you didn't treated this battery well.

The wrapping is perfectly fine. The “damage” you see there is the very outer covering, which got scraped up by rocks being thrown into the chassis and getting stuck underneath it. It’s nothing more than surface scuffing. This battery has never been ejected from the car, has never come dislodged from the battery tray, has always been secured tightly when in the truck, and has been storage charged when sitting for more than a few days. I did not mistreat the battery. I would not be claiming it was a problem with the battery if I had done anything that could cause this sort of problem.

@@FalconfireRC There's a lot more there than "Some light scuffing". You've also split the heatshrink on the connector end in addition to that. If you smash up the battery on the end that the tabs are, yeah it's going to stop connecting. And this is suppose to be the one that Traxxas has already replaced? That aside, why wouldn't you flip the truck over and dump the sea of gravel out of your battery tray?

First of all, there is no heat shrink on the connector. Not sure what you’re talking about there. Second, the front of the battery is not smashed up. I’ve always run it with foam blocks guarding it on all sides to prevent that sort of thing from happening. Third, we have Traxxas 2S batteries that have had their front ends smashed in and they work perfectly fine, so if that’s the problem, why don’t they stop charging??? Fourth, I do get rid of the small rocks-after the battery is dead, although I fail to see what that has to do with the battery’s ability to charge.
