Is it a 2S or 3S. What's the voltage across the battery?

Status: offline 		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.

im betting on the cheap charger your using is not rite. [had one like yours once do the same thing]

hi.
be careful leaving your lipo on charge if you think it has a problem.
i had a lipo which for the 1st aprox 10 flights worked and charged well but one day i put it on charge and the battery just kept charging and charging.. after a few hours longer then it should have taken to charge the lipo exploded and caught fire.. i luckily had taken a few precautions so no damage to my room where it was being charged..
in my case though i think i can blame the charger as i was using a charger for lipos i brought from ebay which was one of those cheaper chargers from china.…
