    That really doesn't mean anything. The charger won't let you charge if the voltage reading is that low, you can fool it and manually bring up the voltage, but why? Even if you manage to charge it, the battery likely had sustained cell damage and internal resistance may be high and may not be able to deliver , thus causing real damage to your NEXT ESC.
    ESCs get fried because of poor quality lipos, if I were you I would soak it in salt water for a few days and dispose of it safely.
