Default RE: replacing bad cell

Thanks! I've not tried yet. No time.. but ill be keeping that in mind.

ORIGINAL: PatternFlyer



I've tried separating 4200mAh 3S2P packs to 2 of 3S2100 couple years ago.
pack was new. Two separate packs didn't last long. LiPo cells are wrapped with aluminum, but the output tabs often has small tin strips on them for soldering purpose.

If you decide to disassemble the packs, make sure to have the tin strips still on them to solder. Some manufacturers, spot weld them at the end and roll the tin strips. So make your decision after checking how the packs were assembled.
