Lipo dead?

Hi all,

 

Trying to charge / balance my 2s lipo batteries and getting the following error…

 

Battery check. Over Voltage.

 

I haven’t used the batteries for 2 years. I thought I put them in storage mode but maybe didn’t.

 

Do I have a couple of dead lipos?

 

If so, can anyone suggest a good replacement please? Nothing too expensive.

 

Thanks in advance.

I haven’t but I shall try 

have a look on youtube as that helped me out when i had a problem with one of my lipos. i just cant fully remember the details. i think when you put it on nicd charge mode, you dont use the balance lead.

thats great!

another thing that i did too is charge it above 3v each cell then put it back to lipo charge.

Re read the cell voltage as you just need to get them >3.0V per cell, otherwise most lipo chargers wont start charging.  I suspect the battery isnt in good condition if its reading <3v per cell after 2 years storage.

It now seems to be charging on the 2s lipo setting… after using the NiCd setting to get the cells above 3v.
