So apparently I forgot to pack up one of my batteries from my last outting which was last sunday. Its been in the high 80's and 90's here this past week, whats the odds that the battery is severally damaged, its not puffed up or anything.
 
More than likely it's fine but high temperatures will shorten the battery's lifespan dramatically. Put the battery in and check the voltage on the cells.
 
Just did the same thing. Couldn't find one of my batteries on Friday after I had fixed my gimbal. The battery was not in my bag where I usually keep it and it had been since 4th of July since I had last flown. Looked in the back of my vehicle and I had left the battery in the back of my Outback wagon the whole time. It's been fairly consistently in the 85-100 deg days during that period. Fortunately with vacations and what not my vehicle was in the garage for many of those days but I'm sure there was a number of days that my vehicle was in the hot sun at work. No puff and it charged up fine. Since I was flying over water this weekend though I decided not to use that battery just in case. I will end up flying with it today to confirm it's health.
