I saw another one of those 7.4v 2xxx mAh packs bloated as well...but two out of however many doesn't indicate a trend. Definitely time to stop using it though. Better it bloat than for it to rupture!

Rapid charge/discharge works the battery hard. I'm sure there's makes that are "better"/"more QC'd" than others...but really, unless you're buying name brand how can you tell? For example, the KA 11.1v 1100mAh 15C stock tube lipos look identical to the Hot Power brand. Right down to the spec lables, wiring, shrink wrap, etc...
