I have a technical question...yesterday i had a short in a carto, and the efest IMR battery started to get warm/almost hot. It cooled right back down when i took it out, but am i correct in thinking that the battery should be permanently retired?

before you toss wait for our battery guys - it seems the safety feature on the battery kicked in but i don't know if it's compromised now ................

you know - sort of like an air bag - it protects only once;)

    fingers crossed then but you thought you had it fixed yesterday till it reverted this morning ..............

    It was but Windows did an update last night and I was back to big this morning. I ran a virus scan but nothing there. I did a system restore this morning and that fixed it for about 5 minutes and the poof everything was big again.

    Don't really know but I'd toss it.

    Thanks. It never got too hot to touch, and it's a "safe chemistry" battery, so no protection circuit...but i've got it separated, and will probably take it to battery recycling. No reason to take risks.

    No but the white print on black was easy to see.

    easy to see, but not very comfortable for me to read. :)

    look on your keyboard, frannie

    find the ctrl key and the -key every time you hit those 2 keys the size of your page should decrease

    better yet
    hold down the ctrl key and tap the - key a couple of times. does your screen respond?

    I never knew that.:laugh: And with my intuitive brain, I hit the plus and it got bigger.:laugh:

    morning, ces!

    frannie would need a step-by-step - i'm still running xp .................

    xp? Really? (that was rhetorical);)

    I have a technical question...yesterday i had a short in a carto, and the efest IMR battery started to get warm/almost hot. It cooled right back down when i took it out, but am i correct in thinking that the battery should be permanently retired?

    Guess that question has been answered... but when there is any question about a battery for me it goes.:)

    Love the analogy, tibby. You're really on your toes this morning.;)

    And..................morning, guys.:) If there's anything I can do to make your morning more comfortable, just ask... as long as it doesn't involve computers.:)
