I am returning back to the hobby after more than 1 and half year
And while looking at my old stuff , i found 2 LiPos
Wolfpack white 2200mAH
And Wolfpack White 1500mAH
They are older than a year but i never used them (still in the original box)
I decided to check them on my voltage checker and they seem to be dead

One of them (1500mAH ) , is having one cell alright but other two dead

The other one (2200mAH) is totally dead and its puffed
I remember it not being puffed when i got it

So i have decided to dispose them

But how can i do so without hurting anyone or anything or without any fires , These are very well my first dead Lipos

Here some pics

Try to charge them to some extent by using very low current in NiMH mode. Exercise caution, use a LiPO-safe bag if you have one

Imperial fire

EXACTLY dont throw them yet...i have had 2 lipos that puffed ...that i used and then they gradually lost puff for some reason...maybe they got punctured somewhere...they still work fine..
note these were low discharge batteries and were always charged back up very slowly.
