I've recently found (2) Apogee 3s 2500mah Lipos.
I discovered them in the storeroom of my hobbyshop and decided to see if they are salvagable, after ditching the mega old school balance tab for chinese JST's I charged them with 1amp till they read 4.19 each cell. (the storage voltage for all the cells even after 4+yrs was 3.64 each)
At that point the IR/Ohm rate was 67, after a discharge and recharge the number dropped to 24. Both packs has nearly the same results, I have yet to test them but was wondering if these numbers say they are junk and not to even bother ??
