Hi

My booster battery has a problem, as can be seen in photo, is it worth finding a replacement cell, if so can any body point me in the right direction, or should i just buy a new battery. Its a zippy 13000mha approx two years old i think. Thanks.

that lipo pack is a fire hazard. It has 40C discharge rating, if it goes off, it will set fire to the other pouch cells, the whole thing can set fire to your house. You should put it in a bucket of water and take it out of the house. Add salt to the water in the bucket and leave it to gently fizzle in the garden for a few days then put a nail through it for safe measure. Make sure the lipo pack is cold before taking it out of the water. You can then bin it, it's not toxic.
