3cell tx lipo - cream crackered ??

[lordnikon]

Left my 3cell lipo plugged in my Tx over the winter and its discharged. Couldn't get any charge at 3S (under voltage limit) so hit it for 5 minutes at 2S and these are now up, however the 3S is still way down and not enough to charge at 3S rate

Is it officially knackered or can it be charged a 1S to bring the low one back up aswell ??

You could try using a nihm charger aat 1amp for 60 seconds at a time to slowly bring up the voltage untill your lipo can take over. A few people have had success with this.

You can try to bring it back from the dead but could you ever rely on it 100%, 100% of the time. I know the 'official' line when charging Li-po's is to never leave them alone when they are being charged - but i suspect most of us do ! Could you trust it ? ? ?

Best thing to do is buy a new pack, learn from the mistake, move on.

Yeah ordered some new packs but wanted to resurrect this one if i could.

Sounds like its chuck it time then

As above. I've been eyeing the LiFe tx batteries at Demon Power Products, very reasonable at £10. LiFe can still be over-discharged, but it's a more robust chemistry.
