How low are the cells? if its new I would take it back or send it back. Like stated above. If for some crazy reason you can't and each cell is about 3 volts, I've brought lots of lipos back to voltage charging them on the nimh option.for a very short time. Let's say that I have a 2 cell, minimum voltage for it would be 6 volts, 3 volts per cell. When u begin to charge on nimh just check the Batt voltage on the charger and when it gets at 6 volts which should be very quickly, then stop it and BALANCE it using the lipos setting. Make sure u use a lipos fire safe bag and watch it like a hawk, all the charge could be going into one cell but I've only had this happen a couple times , and I couldn't bring the lipos back. Btw I'm not responsible for any damages. Try it at your own risk.but first things first try to return. Lik Wait... What gate.... |

What did you set the charger to? If the pack and/or cells are a little low, you can set the charger to "NiMH" charge @ 1A for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Switch back to LiPO 3S and try charging again @ 2.2A (2.2A = "1C" charge rate). Repeat a couple of times if need be to get above the minimum voltage. Do NOT leave the pack unattended doing the "NiMH" charge. [I see LIK posted while I was typing....] Last edited by Charlie-III; 03-17-2013 at 11:49 AM. Reason: added last line | ||

I have done exactly what lostinkorea and charlie III have explained and it worked no problemo and haven't had any issues since. The battery you bought may have been sitting for a very long time or always at the bottom of the stack and not rotated as newer lipos arrived
