Default my new lipo

bought a new hump cell lipo for my buggy, it came in the mail before my charger but according to my meter it had 7.1volts so i threw it in with a regulator to test it out. i ran maybe 60minutes total @6v with no problems and then it went completely dead. my meter still showed 5.6volts without the battery plugged into my reciever, but when i plug it in it wont power up. i take another measurement with it attatched to my reciever and it says
2.4v - hence there reason nothing powers up

im not too worried, im hoping its just dead (charger still not in the mail) but im not understanding why it would read 5.4v instead of 2.4v when not plugged in.... ? any help?
