chevypower1930 -> Why is this happening to my LIPO!?!?? (3/27/2008 2:07:32 AM)
Alright yall I have an Axe CP-l with a lipo... all has been going well and haven't done anything bad w/ the battery but just yesterday when i tried to charge the lipo it would just KEEP charging... the light would not turn green to mean full charge? I would plug it into the heli and try to fly and just almost NO power... not even enough to lift off... so anybody know whats happening to my lipo? :(

Did you accidentally leave it plugged in after flying for several hours? Hope not!

What's the voltage across the battery?

its 3s.. i have no idea is there anything just lipo generally that could be wrong

if you over discharged it, as in ran it in the heli till you couldn't fly anymore, then you probably killed it. you cannot discharge a lipo under 3v per cell. get a volt meter and check the voltage, if it's under 9v or any individual cell is under 3v then you've got a dead lipo.

the lipo is low and can be recharged with a good charger, may not have all its life but running it low once shouldt kill it. im betting on the cheap charger your using is not rite. [had one like yours once do the same thing]
