I would say the battery connection is the most likely cause of the short.... If you say it was getting warm and you only had it plugged in for a couple
seconds, sounds like a classic begining of thermal runaway, which for that to happen requires the battery shorted with no load attached to it... Before you start plugging a new battery in there..
1) Inspect the battery on its own, look for any nicks, pinches, or even broken/crack sheilding. Move the wire and flex it, while looking at it.. this will allow any damage to be easily seen.
2) Inspect the connections, I would suggest replacing them regardless. Swap out to deans.
3) After all that.. inspect ALL wiring within the AEG, once again looking for cracked/pinched, nicked wires.. and if two wires run real close to each other, inspect those sections exceptionally well..
A few questions for you..
your stock tube.. is it metal? or plastic?
if metal.. something maybe shorting out to the inside of the stock. Once again check your battery and connection.. wires leading to and from the stock.
