- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ย. 2015
- Ever had one defective Lipo with "Low Voltage error" while charging on your smart charger/ balancer?? Don't want to buy a new Lipo? You can still somehow use that defective Lipo batt with the Nimh charge. Watch this video to learn more.
Disclaimer: Do this, in a safe environment, and it is still risky to work with a defective Lipo so do this at your own risk. If it still doesn't work then dispose it properly.

Even after 8 years. This video is so helpful. Thank you so much.
Thanks I also get back here whenever I encounter my lipo error voltage problem! 😁
Best video to save your LIPO battery, it saved my batteries in minutes!!! I forgot 4 cells in my truck for a few weeks and outside temp went below 0C several times. All cells were reporting "Low Voltage". I did this trick on 2 2s and 2 3s. I did what this guy said but actually went even safer. Here is how it went:
I plugged a 3s battery, set the charger to NIMH 0.1 AMP change. I charged it for 1 minute up to 9.5V, 1 minute folks that is all it took... I stopped the charge, pluged in the balanced wire and start lipo charged successfully! Saved the battery!
My 2nd cell would not charge at .1 amp. I put the charger on 1 amp NIMH and restored the voltage to 9V in 1.5 minute. Changed setting to LIPO et Voila!!!
the 2 2s cells that were dead are older cells, several years of age. I charged them up to 6V in 3 minutes on NIMH 1AMP and then changed setting to LIPO balanced et Voila!!!
Thanks!
Francois, this worked for me too! As a noob to RC Flying, I was thinking that I'd need new liposuction, when they wouldn't charge after the winter furlough. Top tip!
Thanks for the input - worked for me too :)
OMG you just saved me and my sons RC life. ♥ THX
Had a 3s lipo (11.1v) had 3 0.00V readings and 3 2.xxV readings. Put it on NiMH @ 0.5A (Battery charge rate is 1.3A) for 5 minutes and watched the voltage climb from around 9 to 10.80. After it reached 10.80, I flipped it back to lipo mode and wallah it worked! Thank you! Liked!
BOTH OFF YOU MADE MY DAY, i thought i lost this lipo but luckily not
Just saved me $60-$80 from having to buy a new battery. YOU ROCK!
Awesome. I was skeptical about charging on a different mode. I literally only had to do it for like 2 seconds on 0.8a, and it fixed the low voltage problem. Now charging like normal on lipo mode. Thanks!
It worked!!!! Saved my 2s venom lipo!!!! And saved me $75 or more for a new one! THANK YOU!
I was so terrified to do this, but it did actually bring one of my old Li-Po's back to life. I'd make sure to have a bucket of sand nearby when doing this, since I've been told it's the best way to reduce the damage caused by a Li-Ion/Li-Po going into thermal runaway.
Awesome information, thanks for sharing. It worked fine and you just saved me about $20 bucks!!! I used this on my 4s battery (for a racer) that spent a couple of nights in the woods with the battery connected and was able to recover it! Happy flying bro!!!
Glad to be of help! A subscribe would be nice!
So awesome! I left my brand new 2s 2200mAh battery plugged in and on. Tried to charge it today and it got the low voltage warning. Tried this fix at 1amp and brought it up to 6.9 volts then tried it on lipo balance and it works! Thanks!
Works!! I have a 11.4V, 2200 mah battery and I charged it for 10 min on the Nimh and then went back to the Lipo settings and it worked perfectly. Thanks!!
A long search before I found your video and now I have everything working perfectly. Thanks!
Glad I could help!
Thanks man, for all of you who are wondering it doesn't just work on that specific charger, it works on them all. Thanks man from me freaking out and buying a new chsrger
DUDE YOU SAVED MY LIPO BATTERY.
THANK YOU
Your The best dude I just fixed my 4000mach 3s that was low voltage and you saved me $$$ thank you brother
Superb recovered a bunch of old batteries.. Even at 0.2a till it got to 6v then stopped and balanced charged with no issues! Brilliant!
I subscribed. It worked for me . My one cell was dropped to 2.60v .
I thought my venom 3s 5000mah battery has end up. But no after doing by instructions given in video . It became alive .
Thank you very much for this! I forgot to unplug my Lipo last night and it drained my battery now with this technique I was able to restore it.
Just saved my SMC for after sitting for 9 months!! Thanks bud!!
I can't believe this actually worked, what an amazing fix 👏
Awesome it worked. I left my battery connected to the drone on accident, drained it too low. Setting to NiMH charge brought it back to 13v then I was able to lipo balance charge as normal. Thanks!
My man! Thanks buddy, it worked for mine as well! I charged for 3 minutes on NiMH at .01Amp up to 5.10 volts. Then switched it back to LiPo and it seems to be charging normal!
THANK YOU!!
I was having so many issues, for what reason I have no idea.
3S 5200MAH 11.1 V had a reading of less than 2V. I put it on nimh 1A for approximately 5 minutes, jumped the voltage to 8.4ishV, and the lipo charging mode recognized the battery and began charging!!
Awesome! Worked for me! Thanks a lot. Did some minor changes:
Had a 4cell 1300mAh battery, with the following cell voltages:
#1@0.888V
#2@3.931V
#3@3.932V
#4@3.933V
Connected them as explained in the vid. Charged at 0.5A for 3min-ish.
Cell #1 had then risen to 2.524V, (#3,4,5 was more or less the same).
That allowed me to start charging it using a regular LiPo program.
I'll give this a try
My batteries are at
1.57
6.28
3.91
3.91
It just won’t balance out the 6.28 just keeps climbing and the rest don’t move
@@Frosty_fusionput it max Amps on NiMh and wait for 1 hour. Should be good after that
Thought my son lost his lipo for good.. Just tried this and was able to recover it!!! Thanks so much.. very helpful buddy!!!
Very welcome
Simply the best! Charged for 2 minutes at 0.5A and after that changed to LiPo and it works again!
I would like to add please keep an eye on your cells while doing this. I’m pretty sure he recommends this. I was attempting to revive a hard shell lipo and it popped. No fire but it did blow the case off from expansion. The cell was VERY old just use caution!!!
SAVED MY LIFE. THANK YOU
Saved me from having to return a goldbat 100c 3s I just got. Strange that it did this after one run so I'll be keeping an eye on it. Great trick for saving lipos, thank you!
After I forgot to switch off my RC Crawler because their was a problem with one of my kids I came back and saw that I left the car without switching it off. It also had the problem that I couldn't charge it anymore luckily i did the same as you told me and the battery is saved thank zou very much .
saved the day in 10 mins then continued balance charge, thank you.
Awesome I have one with this problem and have thrown away at least 2 in the past. Thanks for the video/information you rock
Awesome. Saved my battery.
I have a 4s 720mah that went low voltage.
Charged with 0.2A until it hit 13V them went back to the lipo balance.
Worked!!
Dude you are a lipo ninja! Saved me $300 dollars on two batteries!
Saved a 2000mAh 2s by charging it back to 6.5 volts, thanks for the help!
The best. Thought it was totally lost. I follow your steps and guide, well it back to normal 7.4v. Thanks mate👍
Glad to be of help!
I appreciate your time with this video! It saved a very expensive battery thanks so much👍

Brilliant!!!! It worked.. saved 3 batteries which i was about to through away.. saved me 200 euro.. !!!
Dude thank you so much you help me out on a 4slipo that costing me $80 you are a lifesaver I'm glad you're here and I glad you help me out thumbs up and subscribe from me
Worked pefectly, doing this got my 11.1v lipo charged from 8.4 volts to 10.1 volts in under a minute and then i was able to charge normally with the lipo setting. THANK YOU
Glad to be of help! A subscribe would be nice!
No problemo! A subscribe would be nice! :)
This has saved my battery!!!!! Thank you so much!
Worked like a charm! Thanks a million for the Low Volt error fix!
Glad to help
I just tried this on one of my "dead" LiPos. Charged it as a NiMH at .5 amps for 20 minutes. Fixed it perfectly. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Excellent video, worked like a charm! Thanks man!
Worked a treat! Cheers
I found I only needed to charge for about 30-40seconds to get it to voltage.
People without heat-sensors needed to be super aware
Glad to be of help! A subscribe would be nice!
It works! I successfully re-charge my Lipo battery by using the above method.
Saved me buying a new Battery. thanks.
New to the rc world. Thank you so much. Much love from California 👍👊🔥.
Welcome aboard!
Brill vid, thank you, very helpful 👍 put it on 2.0 amp NiMH and it fixed my 5.0 turnigy 2s in about 2 mins. 😁
I had to go up to 8.5 on NiMh setting. But It worked wonders. Thank you.
Worked for me. I did same trick with 18650 pack what I made myself. Problem was that batteries were discharged and showed only 0.05 V. After providing some juice (roughly 10 min in NiMH with no balance) my charger start sensing them and then was able to properly balance charge them.
Thank You!
Saved 3 batteries because I don't charge them very often. Thanks buddy
Thank you so much work perfectly......I only charged it for about two minutes and the LiPo came back to life
Glad to be of help! A subscribe would be nice!
Didn't work for me at first because I was doing it wrong. Watched closer and made sure not to connect the balancing wire when doing the nimh charging. Worked like a charm. Took me about 5 minutes or so to get to 9.6v on 3s 5200mah batteries and then switched to lipo and voila!
Well that’s £160 I’ve just saved! I was a bit cautious but it worked!!! Great video
Worked for me, thank u so much . Greetings from Poland
Awesome! I have a power hobby 4000 MAH 2 cell Lipo and this saved it! Turns out running the batteries in a traxxas spartan speed boat really does damage to the lipos
Tubular bro!! It worked! Radical suggestion! Rock on and party on dude!!
This is a lifesaver these batteries are expensive and I felt I killed my last one
Thanks so much! A simple 2min, 1A charge on my 2s lipo brought it up enough to be charged again!
Glad to be of help. A subscribe would be nice!
You saved my shaman staff!!! Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much! I was able to continue using my 2s lipo using this trick!
Thanks, it worked. 1 minute was enough to get rid of "low voltage" error on my Eco Six charger. Not sure if the battery would still work, but at least it's charging now...
Thanks! Saved me a couple batteries with this trick
It worked! So, as other have said, just charging it for 3 min at 0.5a should do the trick. My battery is 11.1V 1200mAh 30C.
Worked like a charm! Thank you!!
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
This works perfectly! Thank you a thousend times!
Awesome! Giving it a try now! My battery was showing 2.4-3 volts, hopefully it comes back!
Awesome! Finally someone had the answer. Thank you!
Glad it helped!
Thank you so much!!! Fixed my problem! 😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 you rock dude
Thank you this honestly helped so much! Appreciate the video 💯
I just did it and really work, i recovery my battery, thank so much 💯👍🤟
I JUST PUT IT ON LIPO CHARGE WITHOUT THE BALANCE LEAD AT THE 0.40 CURRENT FOR 10 MINS. THAT WORKED FOR ME.
Holly cheese wheel that works. i was trying everything. i either got "Lower voltage" alarm or "incorrect cell count" errors when trying different modes.
when i tried auto detect cell count mode it said 3 fine with just the balance lead, but when i connected just the negative or positive of outputs together it went to 2cell.
EDIT: its charged a bit but im still getting the same problem...
That way only works if your charger does not require balance plug input otherwise it will have a plug connection warning and will not charge without the balance plug connected
Omg this actually worked i left my 3s 11.1 volt in my axial and forgot for like months and decided to play with it couldn't even get it to get pass the error now its balance nicely tha ks man
Works, thanks for the demo man
Awesome! Worked for me. Thank you!
This actually worked!:) i depleted one cell of my 3S battery when i had my drone hooked up to betaflight and was testing engines. Apparently in this mode only one cell was used and was not recognized after in charger....btw it was battery that i bought like two days ago and since im noob i didnt know. I said my goodbyes to it but i found this..after 7min in LiNM mode i got voltage error and just like magic LiPo was found with enough voltage to get balance charged:) what a day. :)
To add, i was charging it on concrete on balcony in a ceramic empty pot and had sand ready just in case. I sat next to it and controlled temperature every 20 secs

Ty 4 the video!
Just start to charge up
🥶👍
THX! Saved my lipo battery!
buddy, you are unbelievable, helped 100%, thank you so much.
Glad to be of help. Kindly subscribe to support my projects.
Thanks a Lot,
Thank You Sir
Thank you. Saved my battery.
Saved my batt thank you!
Thank you so much. It works for my 6S lipo. Had to charge it in Nicd mode at 5 amp for about 6 mins til it reaches 21v then switch to lipo mode and works beautifully. Was about to toss this expensive battery away. It's pretty understandable that all batteries if not use often will degrade and that's what happened. Same thing with a car battery. Park your vehicle for a few weeks you may not be able to start it.
Glad it helped
Thanks man
Saved my arse here big time. Gutted I've thrown away all my older batteries until seeing this
Lol
Glad to be of help! A subscribe to my channel would be nice!
Wow, it also worked for me,I thought that lipo was heading to the recycling center,,,thanks
Yo, this works for lithium ions too flawlessly. It did get warm just a little bit but a lot quicker than on the normal charge settings so definitely watch it. But thank you so freaking much dude!🎉🎉🎉
Glad to be of help mate!
Super sketchy but worked!! Thanks.
Definitely works! Went to charge my battery this afternoon and the charger spat out the low voltage warning - then I tried this. Battery went from 3 volt to 7.42 volts. I shut it down and switched to LiPO and no warning. Thank you
Glad that it works.
I did this for 30 seconds then switched to lipo and bam!!! It worked!!!!
Thank you for posting this!!
No problem!!
Saved my life too... thank you
Thanks for the share and you did save my new battery!
Glad to be of help!
thank you so much, worked perfectly for my 3s lipo
Awesome tip dude!!! Cheers 🥳🥳🥳
