tx lipo pack over discharged ?

[Justin B]

No good.I've charged the battery a total of 1000mah @.5A on Nimh setting with my Ice charger. It will charge on Lipo settings @ 1A for about 30 seconds before warning that voltage is too low for the number of cells and shutting off.I don't want to push my luck and figure charging almost half the mah of the battery should be enough if it's coming back. I didn't actually pay for the battery but it was included in a trade so it still cost me something. Thanks for the help.

The voltage has to be at least 2.6 or higher per cell for the charger to reconize the lipo on the lipo charge setting.

I've got a Astro blinky and Equinox balancers and neither will fit the Losi balance plug so I need to pick a adapter up. I didn't see where the cells were voltage wise but after adding 1000mah back into the battery (a 2200mah battery)I would say it's not going to come back. I'll check it when I get an adapter for one of the balancers and go from there.

I think people are too careless with overcharged/overdischarged lipos. If it puffs or drops to a super low voltage get rid of it. Not worth risking burning down your house. The "it will never happen to me" attitude will eventually prove you wrong.

Nope. my Airtronics M8 handles it just fine.

I know the spektrum Dx3/2.0 can handle 3s fine also.

Yeah I actually edited my post because I remembered a lot of radios still take more than 4 AA cells. I'm just used to my Losi MTX Pro and Nomadio Sensor which both are only 4.8v-6v

Simplechamp-I did it outside my house in a wheelbarrow full of gravel away from everything but green grass. The battery is still there as I type this till tonight when I will discharge it and then dispose of it. Thanks for your concern though.

The battery in question was used for a starter box (14.8v 4s 2200mah) not my transmitter.
