Brought back LiPo from the dead!?!?
My first Lipo battery experience was not good.....I left my pack (2100 mah 11.1v 3-cell) in my plane over the weekend...and
guess what? the charger would not charge it!!!. I told the charger it was a 2 cell and let it charge for
1/2 hour. Then I ran it through a normal cycle and it read 12.6 volts. I balanced it, and have charged it twice since then...it has not swelled, or shown any abnormal signs. I am keeping a close eye on it always, and it seems ok. What happens to a lipo anyway when it is discahrges too low. Mine seems to have survived the discharge. any input???

Generally if you can bring them back there should be a lose in capacity. Just be sure to monitor the pack to make sure that it doesn't start to swell.
