HTRC T240 Duo Balance Recovery on an OVONIC Lipo?

[@RCvapor]

Once a cell is weak even if you get to balance, it will probably always be an issue imo

[@rctezluh42069]

Hey RC Guy Garage, I Have one battery tip, if you are done with a pack you should immediately take it to 3.85 per cell storage level, your lipos will last much much longer by doing this, At the end of the day make sure they are all at storage which is the safest level to keep lipos at, Cheers!!!

Safe words👍💯

Yes sir it was a 5200mah 4s. I did get the cell to come back but it just wouldn't work right after that. I also had a 6200 3s that did the same thing when I went to charge it brand new, but I got Amazon to give me a refund and I disposed of it. So far Zeee have still been the best, even though I have had some of those go bad too. Nothing is perfect unfortunately lol.

Awesome video! I just got 2 CNHL 6000MAH 120C 3s lipos and one of them was way off. Never knew my HTRC C150 had this function. Trying it now

[@brendonl69]

Interesting 🧐

[@tedsimington7654]

Did it recover? Thanks for sharing Sir👍👍👍👍

I had 4 of those rc lipo 6s packs and every single one of them swelled within the first couple uses if not the first use and 2 of them dropped a cell too. Keep an eye on them when you use them because I’ve talked to quite a few people who experienced problems with them as well.

Love your vids ! Keep em coming !!

[@onemansvideos2134]

Seen a few people with those orange lipos that have bloated after a session

[@rcguygarage]

Oh no😂🤣

[@StoneFPV-]

All 4 of mine did. And 2 of the 4 were free replacements for the first 2 that puffed! 😂

[@georgewilson4614]

I have the same luck

[@georgewilson4614]

I ripped my kraton yesterday guy

[@rcguygarage]

AWESOME 👍😎

[@chrismagallanes8858]

I would take a 2s balance lead and connect it to that bad cell and charge it with the balance port

[@brokennib1]

I just had a Turnigy 3 cell do this to me.... I bought them as a pair, and one basically dropped a cell. even if I could get it to balance (which it wont) the discharge wont be even, and it gets a little risky. Sucks because these packs aren't cheap

Weres the fireteam 100mph build vids?

It's on temporary pause you'll see why soon👍

[@Macgyver46]

4 spektrum 4S 5000mah G2 batteries have all had a cell go bad on me. I am very careful with my batteries and to have 4 all go the same thing purchased months apart tells me to avoid those spektrum g2 batteries.

[@GarcBomber]

Cut out the cell by unsoldering it, make it 2 or 3S by modifying the balance plug and tape her up nice with thermal tape. Had an old 6S spektrum battery that came on a package deal & eventually ended up with a dead cell, desoldered 2 cells and now let the kids run the big rigs with it on 4S. Yeah they're only $XX, but I enjoy making garbage work...

[@DammLore]

Hi RC Guy, please, do me a favor, do not be so optimistic and do not charge your lipos jiust on table. Especially lipos with suspicious cells might be quite dangerous. Better always use some sufficient fire protection to avoid danger for you and your house. I like to watch your videos so please do what you can to continue. Thanks. And to respond your question, the charger may recover the third cell, at least it will look so, but my experience is that it will discharge much faster then rest of cells so in the end the cell will go under 3 volts. I just scrapped my shorty hard pack for the same reason. Of course, I may be wrong and the cell isn´t faulty but rather be careful. Good luck.

[@rcguygarage]

Yes it's just trying to balance not charge👍💯 figured I'd give it a shot

[@slashraptor9317]

If it was me I wouldn’t even leave it I would take it with me and put it somewhere in case it decides to be stupid

[@rcguygarage]

Smart👍

[@brendonl69]

1 bad cell? Will it take hours to recover and will it do it again?

[@rcguygarage]

The charger will let me know I guess. Don't even know how or when it happened either🤷

[@davidkincaid8381]

Shit I can’t run my truck I can’t afford batteries for them things it’s a 6s but I bought 3 already and all them ovonic has failed at lest one cell always on all 3 6s battery said zero volts

That's a bad pack now, no way around it.

Still wanted to try either way. Maybe I'll toss it on my axe throwing target if it fails
