i think i goofed

sup gents, hope all is well. i think i goofed. today i went to run my 450 and forgot i hadnt charged last night. i plugged it in, spooled up, got it level, then noticed it wasnt hammering. so i set it down, unplugged it, put my 210 balancer on it, and got a blinking led light for 5 seconds with no led's. so it saying low voltage as per the instructions. so i got out my 1010c charger, programmed it for 3s 20.05, and hit the charge button. my charger gave me a code 1: voltage or reversed polarity. well, i run deans plugs, this is impossible. so its voltage. looked at the cell v's and saw it was 2.98. so i guess now i have ran it to low right. can it be fixed?????????? if so you would rule. 1ts a tp 2070mah 3cell 25c 50c extreme battery. i have tried charging as a 2 cell. no luck. i have even tried at lower rates (i.e. 50%, 95%, fast charge) all to no luck. if anyone knows a swell lil secret.... thanks for even reading, cory

Give this a try, but be careful and I am not responsible for any injury or mishap. Okay now that the disclaimer is out of the way, try to use a 9V transistor battery to bump the voltage on the one cell or cells that are below the 3.45V threshold. Do this one cell at a time and the 9V transistor battery may get very hot, so be careful. Don't hold the 9v on the cell for very long just for a couple of seconds or so, then check the voltage with a volt meter. Once you have done this to all your low cells, immediately try to charge the battery. I have only done this once to a friends 2 cell 800mah lipo, and it recovered and has been working well so far. Good luck.

ken this is the stuff dreams are made of. thanks so much. is a tranistor 9v a regular 9v battery? and in order to this one cell at a time do i use the 4 pin connector that goes to the balancer? or do i use the reg leads. :noteworthy

Go through the balance leads. There is one neg. on the 4 pin balance lead, and 3 pos. for each cell. Check with your voltmeter to isolate each cell then connect the 9V battery's - to - on the balance lead, then the + to + on the low cell for a couple of seconds. Then leave - on the - on the balance lead, but connect the + to the other low cell and repeat. The transistor 9V is usually the normal square 9V. If this does not work, the risk of fire is very great and not advisable with higher amps. Unfortunately, you would consider the battery a loss.
