Default Lipo self discharge?

Is it possible for a Lipo to self discharge without being plugged in to speedo because one had got in to the 6v zone and other 3v. The reason it is only 3v is because one of the cells is completely dead ( 0.00 on a multimeter)

Thanks

Sam

They self-discharge slowly.

In what state were they left and how long have they been left?

The one at 3v & 0.00v is a deffo scrapper... The one at 6v is borderline fubar but the charger will self-check and charge if ok...

I suppose they may self-discharge if not connected but it should take a l-o-o-o-ng time... after all, that is a selling point of lipo... but then again I aint no electronic expert!

I seem to recall my charger(B6)does have a lipo discharge/storage setting so maybe the lipo chemistry allows it to drop to low voltage without damage...
