Be extremely careful doing this. I've been doing this for years and will say you should monitor this battery while you do it as in sit there and watch it and touch it to make sure it's not getting hot. Then when you switch to lipo mode keep standing there and watch it. Good video!

Wow, one of the most useful things I've learned about this hobby! Worked like a charm and, as always, use caution while charging any battery. Thanks 🤙

Great video and an excellent presentation. I passed this video on to my son who had an unresponsive LIPO battery, he did exactly as you directed in the video and it worked out great. Thank you so very much for taking the time to do this. I priced out a new battery and by my estimates you just saved us about $70. Thank you so much for your excellent presentation!!!

Saved my lipo!!! I just bought it and used twice. Thanks for the explanation as well. I’ll be sitting here watching it as now charges as a lipo in the lipo bag

Thanks so much for the explanation. Very helpful. "Saved" two batteries doing this. Hobby store said the batteries were junk and needed to be replaced. Followed your video and the batteries are working great again.

Tried it now and worked like a charm on a 3s 1300mAh lipo. Thanks a bunch for everything you teach us!

Saving the planet one battery at a time. Thanks RCreview

You just saved me £35! Charged 3s battery to 9.5v then switched to balance charge. Really clear instructions thanks

I just got into the hobby and had a bunch of dead batteries, i finally managed to balance and charge one as im typing this now!!! Seriously the most useful bit on youtube in the hobby so far thank you bro

Haven’t drove my car for like 4 years. Thanks to you I get to get back at it today.

This is amazing , just came away on holiday , battery’s wouldn’t charge , no model shops . All batteries charging again. Thank you

Thank you. I got this before and the Hobby Store said the battery was no good but "would take it off my hands". Bought a new battery and it happened after 3 or 4 uses. Thanks so much for sharing!

1st time I did it I streatched a extension cord out door in driveway. Just in case.

You save the day again! Worked perfect, thanks for tips. Nice meeting you at the meet up at Dana Park, turned around and you were gone! Take it easy sir.

I'm thrilled you made this video about this. I didn't take these exact steps on a high current connector 5000mah Traxxas Lipo yet I did recover it. Restarting the charge cycle a few times got it going. Bad things happen when you leave your battery connected when not in use.

Had a 3 cell with two very low cells and this worked. When he says it is fast he was right. It was really fast. So happy I have rescued this battery. Thanks

You are the best! Sometimes I watch for entertainment, but other times I watch because I need help. I let my high powered fans run (which I run on a separate 3S) while I was making some “quick” repair on my RC... well, you know the rest. Today I needed help! Thanks!

Francis, I watch every rc show, and hands down, your the most informative and helpful. And I love that you tell it like IT IS! I wish you had an Instagram. Thanks brother man. 🤘

I had a brand new 2 cell for my transmitter that got left on and was unable to charge it until your video. You are GREATLY APPRECIATED !! Thank you soo much.

Thank you for this video. I was able to recover my dead lipos and they've be holding there storage levels!!! You've got a new subscriber!!!

You don't know how much this video helped. I just had to spend money I didn't want to spend. Glad it was this simple.

I discovered this by myself some months ago and I confirm it works really well ! The battery seems not to be damaged eve if gone for a few time undercharged.

I bow to your knowledge. Thanks so much for enlightening me on lipo mistakes as a newb to lipo. Very much appreciated. 👍🏻

You just saved my 1 month old battery! Thank you!!

I am new to Lipo batteries and use an inexpensive charger. Your video saved my batteries, many thanks!!!

You just saved me. Had a 3s at 1.9v, 2.3v and 2.2v. Managed to get it to 3v a cell and started to balance it. Thank you!

Thanks!!! I accidently discharged a brand-new battery with a telemetry sensor. You just saved me 50 bucks!

Dude your the man like 2 seconds as nimh and plug back balance cord immediately. Started charging again! Thanks brother!

Thank you!!!! You saved my packs!!!!! I had an emergency after ripping with my kids and 3 rigs got left on and thrown in the truck!! They were all at 2.00v and I saved them!

Thank you!! saved me $100.00 on a 6s, Great channel, I enjoy your straight forward approach to things.

Man thank you for sharing this information! Sounds like you're helping the lot of us and I appreciate it!! Saved me from buying a new battery!

Thank you so much for this video. I had a fast discharger that was going bad trying to discharge batteries that I charged but didn't use for a flying session. I didn't realize the fast discharger was going bad (stopped the discharge cycle before reaching storage charge) until it stopped discharging. I checked the discharged battery on my watt meter and it said 3.93 V. When I tried to charge the battery on my iCharger 106B, the iCharger gave me the "vout Low" message. I changed from lipo to nicad at 7.2V and 2A and turned the charger on. As you said, the charge cycle was fast. After charging on the NiCad setting, the battery (4S 5000 maH) let me charge normally on the Lipo setting. You saved me at least $100 in batteries as I had 3 batteries in this condition.

Thank you! New on this hobby, saved my night and lipo!

Very valuable information. Just saved me a $40 dollar battery that stayed in a truck for I don't know how long and was LOW VOLTAGE. Discovered it when I went to use it again.

Done this a couple times now after leaving battery plugged in with direct power servos 🤦‍♂️ great tip! Saved mine both times like this 👍🏻

You saved me so much time with this "hack", I can't believe it. Going to post it to some facebook forums! Probably have to buy something from you now.

I play Airsoft, and my HPA needs a small lipo to function. I had been meaning to give it some charge for ages because I hadn't used it in a while. I completely forgot about it until now and of course I need it tomorrow. This just saved my day. Thanks for this.

You’re the best. Just saved a month old battery with this. Thanks!

Thank you. Just had my 6s to this to me for the first time today. Never happened before. HTRC c150 charger I always balance charge. Had the error confused by looked the problem up and u helped me. Thank you. It alive again.

Thank you. It worked!!!!!!! I had a 3 cell lipo. Did exactly what you said and charged it up to 10 volt. 1 volt higher then 9 (3+3+3) changed the charge back to lipo balance charge and were ready to rock and roll.

thank you so much dude, i had a battery sit around and not get used and now when i tried to charge i kept on getting the "low voltage" error, i didn't even know this problem existed

Fantastic. I’m new to Airsoft and left a brand new LiFe battery in the gun after a game, which discharge to 1.6V per cell. Followed this advice and all good. Thanks!

It worked! Charged my 3s Lipo battery using the Nimh battery charger setting up to 7volts. Then stopped charging it. Switched back to Lipo balance charging and it started to charge like normal. Thank you!

You are a life saver. Going out tomorrow and only had one controller battery

you are a legend brother, love your work

Just wanted to say thanks for your accurate Information. I was a little distraught when I saw that low voltage error 👍🏾

Thank you so much! Worked like a charm on my 2s. Charged it to 6.2v Nimh unplugged and charged as LiPo 👍

Fantastic. You saved my battery. Genius chemistry. Thank you so much. 🤗🤗🤗

I use an old DuraTrax Ice Lipo charger that doesn't do balance charging to do the same thing. I never thought about using NiHM setting on my newer chargers.....good stuff. Thanks for sharing.

Good info I’ve done this for years now I also make sure it doesn’t get hot while doing this great video

Awesome I only charged it a min and worked perfectly. Thanks so much

Thanks for the video. Saved a brand new battery for me, I was not aware I needed to unplug it after every use 😅

Thanks for the tips! Saved 2 of my 2s lipo batteries.

You are the man!!! .......it worked on my traxxas 3s battery. Thank you for the help. Great video 👍🏾

Brilliant. Collected my UDR after work. Came home with brand new 4s. Plugged in got low voltage. As you said tried 10 times just about on each lipo setting. Saw this tip. Tried it. And niw charging

Thank you so very much! After watching your video, I quickly ran up stairs to initiate the test! Wow! Really wish I had known about this sooner! Would have saved hundreds of $$$$. Wow! So happy! Thanks again for this info!

Fantastic! worked as advertised...thanks for the upload

So cool, within literal seconds i got my batt charging. Thank you

Worked like a charm on a new battery! Thank you very much!

Thank you so much! Your videos are so helpful!! Love the disappointment face in the beginning 😁

Dam man that info saved me about $250 !!!! Wow I love your channel!!!

It worked! My ancient Phantom 1 has developed its own AI which included no low battery warning anymore so it zapped the brand-new LiPo. Carried out the charging as suggested, outdoors with temp monitor and a safe exit identified. No problems.

My man!! Thank you for tjis video.. I'm not a noob pilot as much as I am not as adept on the techside. Your easy to follow and UNintimidating instruction gave me a clearer understanding of battery tech in general. I'm running a Venom duo and have always just let it tell me what to do. Tossing batteries when I got this error. Thanks again bro! DirtyLikaRat FPV

Thank you I bought a lightly used truck and the owner was used to running gas trucks and couldn’t get the batteries to work again. I checked out your video because these batteries were almost new looking and so I saved 1 and it’s charging now. Thank you I am sure the other 2 will be the same issue.

Thanks for the info! All I needed was knowing to use NiMH to jump start a low cell(s). I had a really nice SMC Racing 3S LiPO (must've cost $75 or more, new) which died on me for unknown reasons. One of the 3 cells had dropped to

Thanks. Wish I had seen this 3-4 batteries ago but was able to successfully, by using the technique you presented in this video, rescue my latest "low voltage" LiPo.👍😊 I do more RC flying than running my two monster trucks. The two places I fly are surrounded by trees and I unfortunately to often find myself having "landed" in one of the trees. There are times when the battery will drain below the 3V per cell before getting the plane out of the tree. 😢

Thank you - It worked - I saved 4 batteries I thought were gone.

I already called customer support and they are sending me a replacement. But I tried this and it worked! Pretty sweet deal

so glad I found this, i've binned quite a few 3 and 4 cell batteries when i've encountered this error. Never again!

Thanks for this great advice it has saved my 4s lipo that I ran down too low. And now it charges just fine now.

Thank you very much brotha, just saved my lipo thanx to your video 🙌

Literally saved my batteries thank you!

Heck yeah I just recovered 2 batteries!!! Thank you for this amazing video!! I just wished I found this a few batteries ago haha

Thanks for the great info. Got me back up and running today.

Thank you for saving my spektrum 3s. I thought I had set the esc right but obviously not. Thnx again, you saved me £90.....

Left my lipo on Nimh charge for 15 seconds and charge enough to revive my lipo. Thank you!

It worked. You are absolutely brilliant! Thank you.

Thank you just seen your video right now after about 5 months of being at 0 volts and having to brand new lipos I can use again thank you

Thank you, found your channel and your experience has saved my 6S Lipo, which had a couple of very low cells after sitting at storage level for a few months. These low ones prevented my charger from kick starting them under normal mode. They are back up to full balanced now, achieved with no issues, after following your advice and with me watching them closely throughout... 👀 🧐 Thank you much... ✅ 🔋 🐍

Crazy, just played in the snow and one battery went under voltage. Thanks for the video!

Awesome video! Saved my last 4s lipo till my new ones come in!🙌🏼

You rock this worked. Thanks for the knowledge I'm new with using lipo batteries.

Ha, RC Review solves another issue for me!!! I tricked my traxxas charger by connecting my traxxas battery with a couple of adapters so it wouldn't see the balanced leads. Thanks again!!!

I would like to thank you for figuring this out. I ordered 2 4s batteries from a great company and one came with 2 cells below 2 volts. Wouldn’t charge. Watched your video and holy shit it worked. Going to charge it to full balance and then discharge it to Storage mode. Hopefully the cycles will make it work again

Thank you.... I think you just saved my brand new 4000 Redline 130C 👍👍👍 was about to call the shop for a replacement

I'm glad this solved my issue. I am mad it ran me almost $60 plus the extra 3 I bought previous just to have a proper charger however

Hi, thank you very much for this tip. Really thank you I just saved 2 batteries thanks to you. Have a good day.

Thank you for the knowledge just got a sub and I know this video is 2 years old but knowledge is knowledge and it last for years, thank you sir, sincerely!

I DID IT AGAIN!!!! I put a WiFi booster…range extender on my radio & it’s powered directly from its own LiPo. Well. I turned off my radio, but didn’t disconnect the LiPo from the booster earlier in the week & killed the LiPo. I found your video the last time I killed a LiPo with a high powered cooling fan. I just couldn’t remember the procedure, so here I am. Gotta say thanks AGAIN! Love all your videos regarding any topic. ALWAY INTERESTING & FUN.

One of the most useful things ! Big thanks !

This just saved my small FMS lipo, Thanks 🙏

Thank you for this great advice

Great! Saved me some money, at first it didn't work, tried again and I just needed to wait longer when NIMH charging

This worked extremely well for me... thank you

Thank you you saved my venom batteries I’ve had for many years😊🎉

Good video and good info never know when might need to do this with any of my Lipo batteries but if so I already know thanks to this video 👍🏻

Thanks man, you saved me money and a long trip to mlhs

I forgot to turn off one of my rc's one day and when I went to charge the battery nothing happened. Glad I didn't throw it away yet. Thanks for the info.

Thank you so much for saving my battery!

I used some "not smart" charger to do this but NiMH mode is smart trick. Thanks!
