|  Did I kill my Lipo?
So I got some new lipos and needed to solder on some Deans. Being an idiot, I clipped both the positive and negative leads at the same time and caused a momentary short between the wire cutters.. Now the battery reads .11 V and won't be recognized by my balancer. Question is, did I fry it? Do Lipo's have circuit boards? What would have actually fried? Can I take it apart and fix something? I know this was pretty stupid but I figure someone else might have done the same. |

What kind of lipo? Chances are it's done. Lucky you didn't see flame, I saw on burst at Colpar when I was working there from the same thing. |

Crap, I was afraid of that. It was a brand new Turnigy 3 cell 25-35C.

If you can find a charger with a recovery mode, it can't hurt to try to bring it back.
