Default Is my LiPo dead?

Hi All,

I'm in need of some advice.

I have a set of Orion 5500mah saddle LiPos which for the last 12 months have worked fine, being used around 3 heats, twice a month. Always stored part charged (put away after final race of the day without charging or discharging).

The last couple of meetings, upon charging, the cells appear to be 0.1 volts apart. I always balance charge, but because the cells never get to the same voltage, I have to manually stop charging after around 1 hour. The more I used and recharged the LiPo last week (3 races in total), the closer the cells became, around 0.04 volts apart after 3 charges, but after leaving them for a week, they are 0.1 volts apart again.

Is this LiPo pack dead or can it be rejuvenated? I have used the pack as mentioned and have seen no drop in performance and don't particularly want to shell out on new cells.

Any info greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Alex
