Just using a low setting for NIMH and putting some charge in it and then charging normally(lipo setting)?
Charge on NiMH @ 0.5 amps till the voltage comes up enough till the charger will acknowledge the lipo and charge on Lipo settings @ 1.0 amp closely monitoring for swelling etc. Check balance frequently and cross your fingers.
Hope you save it,not a cheap loss.


I retired from RC, now life is all about guns and long range shooting.
