Steps for recovering 1 cell at 0.00v in a 5s 5000Mah lipo

Posted by David Strassman on June 23, 2014 at 3:04pm

Hey,

I'm fully aware of the dangers of opening up a lipo.

I know that it might be safer to render it inert in saltwater and throw it away.

I understand that sometimes, charging a dead cell at 10mAh, might bring it back to life.

Any ideas on the best and safest way to do this?

Thanks,

DS

      Don't open the LIPO.. call up the fire brigade before doing that!

      The liquid may just spur out, you may not be able to stop it. I did that once, didn't end up well (at least for me) :)

      Thanks for the warning... I would never open a lipo cell, just check the connections.
