I recently brought a second hand 2s (but apparently unused) Lipo from another forum, it arrived boxed and looked in perfect condition, I soldered some connections on and plugged into the charger and it came up with a voltage error and read:
cell 1 = 5.2v
cell 2 = 1.89v
i immediately thought the lipo was knackered, however the seller offered a refund and said he it was only 6 months old and he had storage charged it a few months ago so was surprised.
Anyway i thought i would double check and plugged in my LVC and it displayed cell 1 = 3.89v, cell 2 = 3.91v which makes me think its actually ok?
what would you suggest i do from here, could it be a bad solder on the main connections? should i run it down a bit and then try charging?
Its a hard case with the battery/jst plugging into the case via bullets.
