LIPO , no juice in 1 cell
Like the title states . I'm guessing the pack is done for ? no way to bring it back ? I have it on a balancer hoping to revive it

Re: LIPO , no juice in 1 cell
Charge it on nimh for 1min, then try charge on lipo setting again.
What that will do will fill the cell so the lipo charger can read it again.

Re: LIPO , no juice in 1 cell
No juice at all? If the bad cell really does read super low, I wouldn't try to revive it. It went bad for a reason. Likely an internal short that drained it. I would be leery of trying to charge it, or run it under a load, even if it can be recovered. It's not really worth the collateral damage it could do. A bad cell that is revived is likely going to be quite unstable.
Out of curiosity, was the battery in storage for a long time? It's suggested to store LiPos at 50 or 60% capacity, or no less than 3.7 volts per cell. Best to check their voltage levels at least once a month to see how balanced they are, or even cycle them.

Get rid of it Steve, burning your house or shop down will be more expensive than a new battery.

Re: LIPO , no juice in 1 cell
I agree. Even if it's an expensive battery pack, it's not worth the risk of trying to save it. The last thing you want to do is burn up a model, or far worse.....
