Can i bring this lipo back to life
hi all, i just bought a thunderpower 1320 today and when i put it on my accucycle elite i got a message stated, cannot charge voltage too low!!! the reading was at 3.7 volts for the pack. is this thing far beyond gone? i can;t believe the voltage was that low. i put my other pack on there i bought, exact same pack, and it charged just fine. did i get a defective pack?
if i contact thunderpower, would they send me a new one.

RE: Can i bring this lipo back to life
A friend ran his Lipo pack down too low last weekend. The Astro109 wouldn't touch it because of low voltage. We hit the pack with 250 mA with a Astro 110D until the voltage came back up. After that, the Astro 109 would accept it. We did loss a little capacity but the pack is fine, so far.. The simple thing to do is contact TP. Most likely they'll replace it.

You know I was wrong earlier a fully charged cell is 4.2 volts, 3.7 volts is what each cell is rated for, and 3.0 volts is a discharged cell. I would still contact Thunder Power though.
