LIPOs lost punch

[mikeyscott]

What would cause this? LIPOs haven't been used for a while, but were all charged.

Approximately how many cycles have they gone through? How long were they left fully charged?

I think they were left for a couple of months, not sure. Haven't run 2WD for a while.

Not sure on the cycles again summer seasons worth racing each weekend.

Discharging one at the mo to then recharge and balance it.

Downside of having 5 packs of LIPOs is that they are cycled enough.

Looks like a trip to the tip and time to purchase another Speed Passion 5300.

If you took them from storage and just ran them they will feel off. Just charge and run them a couple of times and they should come back.

They don't like the cold either, so if you were trying them outside they will feel crap as well. If you have to use them outside try sticking them in your pocket for a while first

Ok thanks for the info.

I'll run them at our club, but it looks like I'll be running with Speed Passion at Petit as I need consistency.

If you left them fully charged there is a chance they have gone funny. I left a SMC 5000 28C pack fully charged for a few months and came back to it being puffed.
