Change your charger to NiCads and charge the Lipos for only 5 mins on that setting.
This will bring the voltage up.
Then switch back to Lipo charge and they should be fine.
Always store Lipos charged, hence why they might of dropped too low
Hope this helps you

Default lipo

Hi, i had the same problem last week with a set of Orion saddle packs. The best way to do it is set your charger to 1.0A and charge them that way. They will kick in. If they are saddle packs, charge them individualy. (thanks Dave)

Cheers

Dave

We did this as well, but the lipo started to swell on the nicad setting (have done it before without problems), so its soaking in a salt solution in the back garden.

Keep an eye on the battery while you are charging, store charged or close, and do not leave in the car connected, even with the switch off you will get some discharge - thats how we did ours (overnight !)......... good luck

Whatever you do don't do it indoors and take extra caution
