Rince and repeat and after 3-4 times charging it that way your cells should be good enough to be charged normaly again.

Hey guys thanks for all the tips. ill have to try those pinions next. truth be told im hoping the stock one hangs on cause i like the way its geared as is, but stuff always breaks. Im gonna take your advice on charging it at .1C but will it be ok unattended? i dont know if i could sit there for 10 hours lol. 30 mins is one thing. by rinse do you mean run the pack in the truck? before i charge the pack at .1c should i maybe put the pack to storage mode? Once again i appreciate the input you guys do know your stuff. and if the lipo is done for ill just order some more. maybe 3 this time and hope for all good ones and side line the problem pack.
