Cell reversal?

What are the symptoms of cell reversal? I think i might i have done this to my practice pack. Thanks

Well, the best way to check if you have a bad cell is to take a voltmeter & try to put its probes to each cell individually(you'll have to remove any heat shrink from the pack, & it'll be tight getting the probe ends to the cell terminals). A good cell will recover it's voltage(with no load) after having a little time following the discharge, while a bad cell most likely will stay at zero or very little voltage (compared to the other cells in the pack). As for the effect of this in the car, the pack would likely feel like it's about to dump all the time, even when fully charged..... :)
