Anyone else ever seen a 3s Lipo do this?

All my other batteries are showing up fine on the charger.

Looks like a dead cell.
If you feel safe with this I believe you can take the battery apart and convert to a 2s.
Also make sure that no balance wires have unconnected from the batteries
But the 3rd cell is showing 8.20 volts!!! It’s like it’s combining cell #2 and cell #3.

Is your lipo plugged directly into the charger or through one of those balance boards?
 
Do you have a cell checker? Just trying to rule out things.

Directly into the side of the skyrc imax mini. I also put it into two of those mini voltage alarms and it showed 2 cells. First being 3.78 and the second as 64.8 volts!!! It also was making a very odd soft sound. They are usually very loud.

Yep, just tried it on 2 of them. See below.

I’m guessing I can solder the black wire directly across from the red wire onto the 3rd cell?

Solder it back on exactly where it looks to have gone before also make sure everything else around it is protected from a accidental shortage
