confused charging lipo

[Appie53]

Dear Guy's, I have some problem with one lipopack 5000-40c.
When I try to charge balanced, 5amp drops to 0.7amp after a some seconds.
So lipo when full, and I try the store function after a some seconds I get the beep its done?? Checking with a voltmeter is says 8.55volts.
Now I confused, is this pack dead, full or stored??:cry:

Thanks for your advice,..........Appie.

That is more than full... Stop charging and use the battery! 8.4v is fully charged..

does your charge discharge too?

does your charge discharge too?


Good point - if it doesn't, it won't be able to 'storage charge'

Now discharging to minimum 6.6v! After this Will charge and zee shag this does!

Keep an eye on it (and keep it in a lipo sack if you have one)
An overcharged lipo is more likely to pop than a correctly charged one.
Also have a look at the settings on your charger and change them if that's possible.

Thanks for your support. My esc. does not have a lipocutoff, so I never new the shape my lipos are in. So ordered a buzzer, and now know when they are into minimum volts.:yawn:
