For the Lads that are not too fond of the hazards that come with Lipo batteries........... this thread is probably not for you.
I gave the Lipo a quick hit on the NiCd setting for a couple minutes. This brought the voltage up but it would continue to drop once off the charger. I then gave it a boot full, over an hours worth. Once off the charger it held Voltage but now I had issues with the other 5 cells sitting at near 4.6v. I identified the cell with the issue, isolated it from the rest and used a 12v pump and 2 Led lights to shedd the load. That 12v pump has never spun so fast. I got them pretty close initially and thought I could balance the cells out once back on the charger but they wouldn’t equal out. Continued to shed load to where they were all near dead on, threw the Lipo back on balance charging......... Happy days!!
