It is not clear to me from your post exactly what you have or want. If it is a typical 3 cell battery and you can measure 14 volts at the terminals, something is wrong. A LiPo cell will have 4.2 volts when fully charged or your 3 cell would measure 12.6 volts fully charged, not 14 volts. Now, if that is a 4 cell LiPo and measures 14 volts, you have a battery that is nearly completely discharged and should be charged before you try to use it. A 4 cell would read 16.8 volts when fully charged. Please do a bit more explaining if you need help. What load are you putting on it? How are you measuring the voltage and current?

The charger will not charge because the battery is Dead! (Based upon your statements.)
I don't know anything about the charger you have, so I cannot comment on it or it's readings.

Your comments here do not make any sense; if there were any voltage (you say it reads 14 volts) and you touched the leads together you would definitely get a spark and possibly ruin the battery if it were good to start with. You can NOT have a voltage and then get no current flow if you join the leads-- an impossibility. I'd suggest you go to your nearest hobby shop with your battery and charger and ask for their advice or help as you do not seem to really know what you are doing.
