You are sure the charger is set to the right program? As you do not have the manual it looks to me you have to select the right settings first.

There is def some weird stuff that went on in my charger but I reset it to 7.4threw my 4 cell 14.8. When I started my charger n went to 2 cell it was stuck on 6-9 and I couldn’t adjust it to 7.4 for some reason but when I went to my starter box 4 cell 14.8 and decreased it to 2 cell it went back normal 7.4 n I started charging batteries till this last one.

Honestly I think he fried this battery. I put it in discharge last night for n hour on nimh and nicd n when I went to charge on lipoid still had the over voltage block, I don’t no how to take it down from 8.63, other batteries were under 5 so I did the low voltage nimh trick to get them over 6 and then lipo to continue charging them but like I said I don’t no any tricks for an over voltage. On YouTube there’s a million videos to fix low voltage and 0 for over voltage, this makes me think it’s not something ppl normally can fix, maybe I just got lucky n this battery didn’t explode.

Should I worry about this battery in the house n just throw it away? Can any of those batteries that went low voltage catch fire or are they safe? I’ve done the nimh trick n never had one catch fire but this over voltage one has me nervous. All these lipos make me nervous.
