Lipo HELP

[Juttie]

I have just gone to charge my lipos and all I get on my charger is low voltage lipos are allways balanced and esc has cut off setup one saddle is showing 1.2v and the other 2.1 is there anyway I can recover these

[bigred5765]

did you leave them pugged in, in your car?

[Juttie]

I did but power was turned off can they be recovered?

They will die even if plugged in and off. Ive done this. To recover them i have put them on a 0.1v Nimh charge and when they get to a voltage that will be recognised by your lipo charger balance them up. You obviously have to watch the batteries carefully for puffing/heat etc while on nimh charge. Depends on how low they have gone as to how good they will be after recovery. I have recovered a 2s from 4.7, and it seems to be holding charges and balancing fine.

Worked for me, but im not liable for anyone else trying it!

doesn't matter if turned off, if you leave them plugged in they Will still drain
it is possible to try to kick start them as mentioned above, but it can be dangerous so do it outside and watch for swelling/puffing up , any sign stop charge and dispose of
