Default RE: LiPo battery low voltage

The charger I am using is an Electrifly Triton 2 EQ.

Triton2 EQ is an excellent charger to do this job.
Plug into balance tap (with or without main lead) and push both buttons simultaneously to read all cell's voltages. You can do this without charging.
Thanks for this post and the previous one.

The battery was never damaged. In fact, I only used it once or twice. I believe it discharged from sitting around for a while. I have both a fear and respect for LiPo packs and would much prefer to throw it away than take any chances with trying to recover it, given the controversy presented here. I respect everyone's replies and thank you all for them, but as I said, I am just going to throw it away (following the proper precautions of course). For the sake of a few dollars, it just isn't worth taking the chance.

I was looking over the other batteries in my collection and have one that looks puffy. It's going to the same demise.

Thanks again.

CGr.
