Title: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: DArkPrince007 on November 16, 2013, 09:13:36 AM I have a lipo turnigy 3s 1500Mah . The charger refused to charge it. When saw the voltage readings it showed me two cell below 3v and one at 4 v.!
How to get back this lipo working.? :banghead: :help: :banghead: Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: hangingtough on November 16, 2013, 10:56:22 AM carefully,
If you discharge cell below 3v , it cannot be recovered. But if it self discharged then you can carefully give it a try to give a small charge and see if the cell recovers to above 3v Else this lipo is waste, remove one cell which is more than 4v Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: DArkPrince007 on November 16, 2013, 01:11:44 PM I have IMAX charger.! In which mode should I charge it .?
Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: Tricity hobbies on November 16, 2013, 01:28:29 PM the most possible way to recover is ; charge the lipo on nimh mode and inject some amperes in it like 400-500 with out attching balancer leads.
then give a try again on lipo mode. if still dont work, do whatever u want to do(throw it or keep it) Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: DArkPrince007 on November 16, 2013, 07:10:10 PM I guess I will have to throw it
Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: girishsarwal on November 16, 2013, 11:33:27 PM Open up the lipo if individual cells are gone you might be able you use if any cell is still holdig charge. You will need to take the good ones out and solder them in series to get a 2s battery or just keep them for future if any other battery dies down. I have posted whats inside a lipo in some other post on rc india..you might have to search for that post. but in all probability you might be able to salvage atleast a singlr cell out of the pack
Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: VTOLkarthik on November 17, 2013, 10:15:29 AM dont throw it! jiust connect a 9V batry to it fr a min or so...and then connect to d charger if it isnt detected just connect d batry to it again...
I did the same to mine and its still working ! Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: DArkPrince007 on November 17, 2013, 11:19:07 AM Which 9V battery.???
Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: DArkPrince007 on November 17, 2013, 11:21:00 AM I'm thinking of a method wherein I will individual force the cells to get charge above the require voltage by nimh mode. As my cell 1 and 2 are below limit then I will force charge them to 3 v.
But how to charge this cells individually .?? Any idea.? Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: girishsarwal on November 17, 2013, 12:07:28 PM Charge usin the jst balance connetor. The black lead is the negative...there fortg each lead is connected to the positive of the next cell. Hope that helps
Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: VTOLkarthik on November 17, 2013, 07:31:09 PM 9v batry used for transistor radios... which has +ve and -ve on same sides..
Title: Re: How to recover 3s lipo from 2 Dead cells Post by: DArkPrince007 on November 17, 2013, 07:59:29 PM Ok now I tried forcing the battery to get above voltage using nimh mode.! I got battery voltage of 2 1.9 and 4.5 volt. The charge detected correct number of cells but due to high voltage in 3 cell it says batter voltage error high voltage error
