LiPo help needed

[IRONWORKER]

I’ve got a lightly used cheap-o brand 3s battery pack… What do you think is the best way to go about trying to breathe life back in a dead cell.

History is came with a new $230 RTR Pirates truggy (actually a decent little truggy) i got, i charged it a few days ago then it started raining… Forgot about it for the next week until remembering it tonight.

2 cells are just over storage level at 3.95 the other 1 is either totally dead or the Lipo testing function on my Hitec X2 plus doesn’t recognize it.

A low cell can be pumped up a bit so your balance function on your charger will recognise it, but a dead cell equals a dead battery.

Make sure to check your balance lead, make sure all the wires are pushed in and there's no dirt or lint in the sockets. Sometimes it the little thing that will mess you up.

Dutch I’m ashamed to admit it but i dismissed your excellent advice…. I’m an idiot, it was a balance plug wire the whole time.

You're not a idiot, you did the right by asking for help. Trust me I've been there and done that.
