Default What's up with my 1s lipo?

Just curious about this lipo..

it's a walkera 1s

I put it on the charger and the voltage is already 4.2 and then the charger decides the battery is fully charged but it has no power.

Do lipos go bad and show a high voltage?

Should I toss the battery or discharge it?

I've got 1 that does that reads full charge on a high end charger plug is good but dead in under a minute there only 5 bucks so toss it and pickup some 400 or they even make 500mah battery's that fit stock.

that's what I meant to say just realized I said the wrong thing when I went to throw one on charge I have the 500's and they fix the tail heavy issue of the novus cp/walkera 4g3 there a lot longer than the 400's and rated at 15c instead of 10c like the 400's, I have seen one sight that has 600mah battery's I'm going to snag some up.
