TX lipo question
So i was up late tuning my tekin and i guess i went to be and left the transmitter on, went to continue this morning and the TX is dead dead dead, should i just toss my lipo or does any think i could try and charge it?

When you hook it up to a charger do you get a low cell warning?
I know some people will try to boost the voltage by charging them as a NiMH for a minute or two and then try the lipo setting again. But if you don't want to risk it, HobbyKing has tx packs for 8 bucks. |
As long as there's no damage (swelling) you can try to rescue it by charging it as a NiMh. Use a low voltage like 0.3 - 0.5amps so the voltage doesn't increase too rapidly. If this is a 3S, charge it this was until voltage is back up over 9v (if its a 2S, then charge til voltage is over 6v). Stop the charge and then switch to a normal lipo charge and it shouild charge normally.
If at anytime, the lipo starts to swell, stop charging immediately and take the lipo somewhere where it can't do any damage if it goes into a runaway condition. Watch the lipo carefully and monitor all the charging. If it doesn't swell up, its prob going to be OK, but you should watch it for the next few cycles to be on the safe side. Due to safety issues, lipo mode charging is set up to not charge lipo if the cell voltage is less than about 3v/cell. You're using the NiMh mode to get it back up over this minimum. |
