hey guys
I am running 4 3s 5Ah lipo in series to make a 12s 5Ah lipo.
I ran into a problem with my 12s 5Ah lipo battery one cell dropped to 3.85 while the rest are at 4.05. I tried balance charging them but it didn't do anything (my balance charger isn't the best one). when I used the batteries all the cells dropped at the same rate. I think this battery might have lost part of its charge as I left it charged at about 4.00 for about 2-3 months. my bad .
so I decided to go to surgery and charge that individual cell by itself and then re-attach them and see if it is still damaged when I charge the batteries next time.
one issue is that when I opened the batteries I found that middle cell (that is bad) a little puffy on one side
the other side of the battery is fine and the rest of the cells are good! it's literally just that spot!
what do you say garbage?
