I did that, and after their voltage had picked up a bit, I then did a normal LIPO balance charge. That pack worked fine afterwards. Care must be taken with this process, as if they get left on NIMH charge for a full charge, it would likely not go well.

So if they are only a bit low, feel free to try this advice. You can probably find a more detailed guide somewhere on the web.

EDIT: I think I followed the MaxAmps guys advice on this thread.

Hi Guys thanks for the info,

I did that trick with the nimh charge and i got the lipos up over 6v and i was able to change again and they are reading full power now i did a few runs and they seem ok

See you soon
