lipo battery

[Moozo]

Hi
My lipo charger says the battery voltage is to low.
Can this be fixed or is it no good anymore?

thanks Mick

Check the voltage of the battery cels manually with a multimeter to check that the charger isn't at fault.

If the cells voltages are low (under 3V per cell is a typical limit), then the safest thing to do is dispose of the battery.

A risky solution is to try charging the battery on a NiMH setting for a couple of minutes to see if it wakes the cell up, although it may not perform so well again. It may also fail spectacularly and dangerously if you do this.

sorry got it wrong the charger says balance voltage too low, just disconnected the balance lead and it seems to be charging, the voltage was below 3v per cell though.
Will it be damaged?
Thanks for your help, Mick

Perhaps damaged. Be careful with it.
