What's going on? Is my lipo dead?
Lipo still about half charged after 1 heat, gone to recharge and get this error message?
All other lipos charge ok so guessing charger ok?
Plug lipo back in to car and runs sweet still?
Any ideas?
Charger error outs on all modes!
Using a Icharger 106b
Also tried it on an older charger I have and that too errors out!
Lipo is a trekpower gold 4900
Thanks for any help

Have you tried charging without balancing

Try discharging the lipo until usual cut off then try recharging from discharged state in unbalanced mode.
At the very least if your lipo will not recharge then it is in a 'safer' state for disposal.

Check the pack and cell voltages and then post back up with results.

Will run it down laters and see what happens!

A good investment would be a multi meter. Can get em for less than a tenner dlivered. In the mean time set your charger to nimh setting just so you can read the pack voltage. Just remember to stop the charge afterwards. Sounds like the pack is under voltage although you say it runs your car fine. If it is under voltage you would get fairly poor power.
Do you use the same charge lead for this pack as you do with the others. If you use a different charge lead you need to check that also.
