Status: offline 		Been watching this for a while now. Had a LiPo in my Cx2 Heli that was exhausted so I bought another. Than down the road I bought still another and another. To make a long story short I'm still using all 3 LiPo's a year or so later and all three still doing a nice job. They wouldn't even take a charge from my Triton Jr charger unless I tried them several times to charge them and they finally did. Now take a charge fine again like new. Same happened with my 3 CP pro Heli LiPo's still using them. Now I have a Bug plane and the batteries I had were dieing fast I thought. I was getting about 9 minutes fly time from each and than I was down to 3-5 mins and when I charged them I was taking almost putting back in 3/4 of the mah total. Which really was saying I should only fly for 3 mins so 1/2 charge remained. I rebuilt and adjusted all my servos and added a new prop. started to fly like new. Maybe servos were over working and prop was maybe bent. Now the old 3 min LiPo's are taking a full charge replacing only 1/2 mah and giving me what looks like close to my original 9 min fly time. Can LiPo's be restored by careful flying not over pushing, and proper charging and balancing? Even after they look shot? Looks like it! Don't toss them out yet! 100's of extra flights! TRY REGENERATING THEM!
