Do you have another lipo to try? May not even be the battery.

How do you charge the lipo? What balancer and charger do you use? Do you have a volt meter? Also what motor and esc are you using?

Just figured that I would update this thread with my recent repairs.

I have now repaired all of the various hard cased lipos. So I am familiar with how they are setup internally, and most inportantly, how to get the cases open with out damaging the case or internal wiring. So heres a list,

All losi hard cased lipos

Enerland hard case

Orion/kokam hard case

Trakpower

And the cheaper ebay chinese cell hard case lipos

Not sure that I put this anywhere else, but please post info here or pm me. I leave pricing to pms, but repairs usually take a day or so and I can ship back the lipo. Payment can be made via paypal or thru MO/cash.

And as always I am interested in buying damaged packs that you may not want, I only ask to have a look at them before we settle on a price. I will also pay shipping for this.

Thanks for all the interest, and I hope I am providing a somewhat useful service...

I just got my lipos back. I'm impressed, they look like new, they're balanced and ready to use.

I spent under $70 with shipping and the repair, easily worth it when my other option was to junk the packs at over $200 each.

Looks like I got something right....
