i have a TP 3s 730mah lipo that i use for my foamies
i let my brother use it to run it in his car and i went to check it the other day

is there anyrthing at all i can do to save this battery or is it just a lost cause?

Little known fact. Send the pack back to TP - I have heard that they will replace them with the latest greatest for a huuuuuge discount. Same with all packs. Can confirm this?

Just re-charge it. it will get it's charge back up but you will have less flight time.

JohnnyKatana · 02-22-2007, 11:46 AM

when i read TP warranty it only covers origional defects

Defect doesnt = complete ignorance

=[

3ddd · 02-22-2007, 11:50 AM

well it wasn't complete ignorance it was your pack and not his hahahaha

3ddd · 02-22-2007, 11:50 AM

sorry just had to throw that at ya

Giant_Dog · 02-23-2007, 08:03 PM

Yeah,

Battery is toast...

I would still give TP a call..beats paying full price!

flybye · 02-27-2007, 11:24 PM

if you send it to thunder power with half of what it cost new in cash they will replace it for a new one at half price, they are really good at that.

flybye · 02-27-2007, 11:25 PM

thunder power all the way!!!!

Wayyyy bad idea. I did the same to one of mine. It burst into flames!! bad part was that it was in my '96 Suburban. Ever try to land a 40% airplane while your ride is engulfed in flames??? I can laugh about it now, Esurance gave me 500.00 more than I paid for it so I just went down and bought a '99 same color and all.

At that low of a voltage the cells can get way out of balance. If you do recharge them
make sure its on a balancing charger and at a slow rate..

my friend had one like that happen to his only his was a 1320 and he did something with a 12 volt battery to revive it. it was kool. now that battery works great.
