Just goes to show how safe LiPo’s can be - no explosion/flames etc.
As long as the cells weren’t shorted or open circuited they will continue at their nominal voltage but capacity would have been reduced. A couple of years ago we did a test with a carbon fibre tube to test the effect of a crash puncturing a 2S LiPo and exactly nothing happened. Based in a hot dry country we were very wary of a potential fire - we have enough of those already!
Still fortunate it didn’t drop from the sky... assuming it really was in flight at the time.
Agreed - but looking at the photos of the damage I cannot see how the cells were not shorted.
