Anyone want a 6S LiPo with a duff cell?

[Planehazza]

Got one of my 6S LiPos out to charge and the cell checker won't read it, keeps seeing it as a NiCad. One of the cells is very puffed and the charger says balance error, so think the balance tab has come away from one of the cells.

I can't use it anymore and it's only a £28 turnigy, so before I gostab it in the garden, does any one local want it to make a 5S pack? I don't want to post it for obvious reasons.

Cheers!

Don't be silly...
Charge it to 4.5V per cell, get your phone out, get a big screwdriver and a hammer and stab it so hard it will never ....well, you know the sort of thing!!
Don't forget to post the video of the flames!!

I've got a couple of people who will use it, I'm just nervous of having it in the house until the fly in :/

Yeah i'd be nervous keeping it in the house too... nowhere you can store it outside?

Yeah I'll keep it in a LiPo bag in a waterproof container. Will the temperature changes outdoors harm the other 5 cells?

With the "warmer" temperatures atm it should be fine... some say keeping lipos chilled is actually good for them.

As long as its not freezing outside then should be fine.. and also that it can't get wet lol.

Some peace of mind for you anyway least its not in the house.

Cheers Matt, I'll get it sorted tomorrow.

EDIT: Now in a cosy home in a LiPo bag in the BBQ
