Be extremely careful doing this. I've been doing this for years and will say you should monitor this battery while you do it as in sit there and watch it and touch it to make sure it's not getting hot. Then when you switch to lipo mode keep standing there and watch it. Good video!

Exactly. It's a workaround so proceed with care. I was more worried years ago when I didn't understand the cause. Now, I see the rationale and my comfort level is good.

Also when you run it and start putting it under load. If one cell is damaged it may discharge way quicker than the others depending on load.

DO EXACTLY as instructed in this footage. Watch this a couple of times if unsure. I wouldn't do it with a completely dead lipo, it's for just being out of voltage balance or range. Cheers 👍

Thank you so much for this video. I had a fast discharger that was going bad trying to discharge batteries that I charged but didn't use for a flying session. I didn't realize the fast discharger was going bad (stopped the discharge cycle before reaching storage charge) until it stopped discharging. I checked the discharged battery on my watt meter and it said 3.93 V. When I tried to charge the battery on my iCharger 106B, the iCharger gave me the "vout Low" message. I changed from lipo to nicad at 7.2V and 2A and turned the charger on. As you said, the charge cycle was fast. After charging on the NiCad setting, the battery (4S 5000 maH) let me charge normally on the Lipo setting. You saved me at least $100 in batteries as I had 3 batteries in this condition.

Yeah, it's happened to me so many time and I've saved many batteries myself. It's a flaw of the system that ESC's drain it despite lipo cutoff. And that chargers stop working on them even though they are still perfectly fine. Saves money and saves key trash from our landfills.

This really saved my ass. I forgot my brand new Reaction 2 800 mAh 2s battery overnight in the Losi JRX2 mini - and this morning the Gens Ace IMARS II Pro charger showed me cell voltages 0.89 (!) and 1.3 V respectively. Obviously, the charge would refuse to charge the battery. But it would even refuse to charge it as NiMH (6s) because of the extremely low voltage. So I turned to my Gens ACE Dual IMARS - that one recognises NiMH cells automatically - and somehow was it willing to start charging it as NiMH - and it indeed took just a few seconds and then I was able to proceed charging it as LiPo.

What I did when I did this a few years ago (battery got down to about 2.7 volts per cell, 3 cell) was buy a cheap balance checker for like $5. Then I took my charger to a safe place away from anything flammable, I connected my lipo checker and the charging cord. Put everything into a metal bucket and put some sand around it. Proceeded to charge it on nihm and payed attention to the lipo checker to make sure the entire battery was charging rather than one cell. This was before I knew you could even do this and I had already counted it as a loss. I just thought if there was any way of saving it, this would be the technique. In the end, it did work, even though on nihm not every cell charged at the same speed. I charged mine up to storage voltage, then I switched to lipo charge. I charged it up till the lowest cell was at 3.85, then I took it off charge. I put the lipo checker in balance mode and checked on the battery every 20 minutes to half hour. It eventually got to the point all cells were at 3.81 volts per cell. After all that, I charged it and used it in an RC that I wouldn't worry about if things went south. That battery is now 2 years old and hasn't been a problem.

Awesome. Had my first dead battery. Forgot to charge, started flying, 10 seconds and the drone was drop dead. Started charging with the Ni... program until I saw the voltage suddenly dropping (almost 9v with a 4s); then I switched to lipo charging without connecting the balance charger thing, since otherwise it would only recognize it as a 2s; (charged with 0.1A, is the lowest I could get); continued until it was able to recognize it as 4s (in between I paused the charging and tried if it was recognized as 4s; at about 13.5V or a bit more it worked. I stopped charging and connected the balance charger thing. Now it is charging slowly. Best: if it gets recognized one time as 4s, start charging and don't stop. I did that and the voltage dropped within a few seconds below 4s level, so had to continue charging without the balance charger connected for some time (few seconds pause vs 2 min charging...)

Thanks for the info! All I needed was knowing to use NiMH to jump start a low cell(s). I had a really nice SMC Racing 3S LiPO (must've cost $75 or more, new) which died on me for unknown reasons. One of the 3 cells had dropped to

That’s music to our ears. And more importantly do you have the knowledge to feel comfortable about the safety of this recovered battery.

Thanks! have had this happen a few times with different batteries. If it was a 2s I just plugged it into one of those cheap USB chargers to get the voltage up, then balance charge it. Just had it happen with t a 3s and needed to find out how to fix it. What happened was I was playing in mud and the truck was mud covered, so I pulled the what I though was the battery plug. I was an part added so I could get battery voltage to my RC6GS. Well the telemetry line was still plugged in and it sucked down the voltage.

Keeps happening to us, especially because of these new direct powered servos that have no switch.

Thanks. Wish I had seen this 3-4 batteries ago but was able to successfully, by using the technique you presented in this video, rescue my latest "low voltage" LiPo.👍😊 I do more RC flying than running my two monster trucks. The two places I fly are surrounded by trees and I unfortunately to often find myself having "landed" in one of the trees. There are times when the battery will drain below the 3V per cell before getting the plane out of the tree. 😢

I would like to thank you for figuring this out. I ordered 2 4s batteries from a great company and one came with 2 cells below 2 volts. Wouldn’t charge. Watched your video and holy shit it worked. Going to charge it to full balance and then discharge it to Storage mode. Hopefully the cycles will make it work again
