Lipo cell over discharge

You must have posted while I was typing my previous post.
I would like to clarify that the pack should be in a lipo sack & that it should take no longer than 5 or 6 minutes at about 0.5A & should be monitored .
I've done it myself with no problems. The flyboys have plenty of info on this.

If a wire was shorted there would be bigger problems than a low voltage cell.
sounds more like an open circuit to me.
Cheers.

Have you ever seen a LiPo explode or burst in flames? I tell you man, Meniscus eyeware would not be sufficient to protect you.

You know....I was just saying don't be silly, if anything happens and you don't even have a shield for your eyes, you lose your eyes. At least with some safety glasses, you have a chance of still having eyes. Your face may be unrecognizable, but you may be able to see.

Also, I'm not as familiar with other chargers out there. I use a MRC Superbrain 977 and I can set for .1 amp and charge those lipos that may not be balanced. Not recommending, but it is a way to very, very slowly bring up the packs during over discharge.

My own personal experience? I had a lipo a little while back that had puffed on me. I decided to toss it rather than to risk health or limb on repairing something that would only cost me a small amount of money to replace. But that's me.

Do I have my own brand of eyewear now? Sweeeeeeeeet!

Charging an over discharged pack on the Ni Cd setting is an accepted way to bring a packs voltage up to the low level setting in the Lipo mode.
This should only be up to 3.0V not 4.0V though.

My bad. I figured that 3.0v was the cells absolute lowest voltage. I know that the nominal cell voltage was 3.7, that's why I suggested the 4.0v setting. And as previously stated, ANY time a lipo is charged it should be in a bag.
