Default RE: Lipo lost capacity?

ok I discharged the battery last night and was only able to pull just under 800 milliamps. I checked the voltages with my blinky and one cell was below 3 volts, so I charged the battery at .1 amps until the voltage on the low cell came above 3.2 volts, then went to bed. I woke up and check the battery again with the blinky and that same cell didn't light up. I put a meter on the low cell and didn't get any voltage reading. I am now in the process of charging again at .1 amp to bring that low cell above 3.2 volts, which did accept voltage. After two minutes, the voltage was at 2.87. Basically I think that cell can't be saved, and it probably why the capacity has gone down so low.
