Lipo won't charge
 
2 days ago I ran my rig and when I put it away I forgot to disconnect the battery from the ESC's and BEC. Today I try to charge it and my charger says "check the batt. low voltage". I check the cells with my charger and it says cell 1: 1.42v, cell 2: 0.00v, cell 3: 0.00v. Also it feels kinda puffy, like there's some liquid inside there or something.

Its done. You need to dispose of it properly. :cry:

You let the cell voltage run too low so it's garbage. Put it in a bucket of saltwater and dispose of it. Lipos should never be run down to below 3.0 volts per cell. If you are going to use lipo's without a cutoff in the esc then you should use one of these to prevent this from happening again:

I have to agree with them. I know it hurts but honestly you need to trash it. You can let your cells run down to around 3.0v per cell or MAYBE just a tad under that like say 2.8 or 2.9 and still bring them back to life. However you should NEVER let your cells go below 3.0v per cell if at all possible. When they go below that threshold and down into the 1v per range then they become unstable and unsafe. Like I said I know it sucks but its trash and you will have to chalk it up to a learning experience. "thumbsup"

Thanks guys, I was wondering if it was possible to charge it back up. I will dispose of it properly. It's not that bad, i got two more batteries.

I guess the BEC light drained the battery since I left it hooked up for two days.
