I brought it back up to 3 volts and then let it sit for a couple hours and the cell went back to normal. Now the problem is charging it without overcharging the other two cells in the pack (its a 3S), since those two cells are now pretty much up to a full charge even though I was balance charging to bring that cell back up to a normal voltage. How the hell to I get this one cell up to 4.2 volts or at least to 4 volts so that it will actually balance charge it (It currently thinks that the pack is almost charged so it does the amperage ramping, but it pretty much stays at 0 amps for about a minute, does absolutely nothing and then says the pack is full).

Is there some kind of way to charge just 1 cell? If I could everything would be fine and dandy.

What charger do you have? I could swear that if I put mine (a Duo) on Balance (not balance charge), it doesn't actually charge any of the cells, it pulls the high cells down to match the low cells. Its just been an observation from watching the levels....might try that to bring those other two cells down, then do a balance charge.
