Is the charger set correctly?

What charger are you using?

 

[tha nemesis]

yup .. says low voltage ... i hooked up 4 other lipos that worked perfect

charger is a hi tec multi charger x1 ac plus

Did you try to charge them with the little Redcat charger? There slow but really good little balance chargers.

 

[tha nemesis]

no .. the guy didnt have it when i purchased the vehicle off ebay a few days ago

 

[Guest]

I'm assuming the zippy packs are used....?

I'd throw them on a cell checker to see how far off they are. If the voltage drops too low it will damage the pack. They might already be shot.

There is a way to save an over discharged battery.

the guy told me he used the zippy packs 5 times ...we checked both zippy 5000 3s lipos and they were completely dead .. zero juice in them .. we checked them on 2 different chargers .. so i am going to try deluge's video and see what i can do .. i been looking all over the net to try to fix this .. im also going to call zippy and see what they say .. thank you everyone who posts back to my topics

Good luck.

Just be careful and charge at the lowest possible amperage when using that method.

Keep us posted and let us know if it was successful.

 

[tha nemesis]

i will for sure .. im trying to find zippy's phone number at the moment

 

[Guest]

They are from Hobby King. You could try to contact them.

i did .. come to find out they are a china based company .. so now i will try to revive these packs in a few hours .. i brought them to a friends house who has a way better charger then i do and he don't get off work for a cpl more hours .. i just hope to fix these because i don't think the person i bought these from on ebay will give me any money back ... he sent me a message about how to revive them just like whats in the video that was posted in this topic .. he thinks he left them in the car with it on by accident .. which does happen from time to time .. and in the description he said he only ran them 5 times and he payed 200 dollars on the new batteries and 125.00 on the new charger .... well zippy 5000 hardcase 3s 30c lipos are under 50.00 each .. as for the hitech x1 ac plus charger is about 70.00 ... here is what the screen shot is for the xb-e i bought off ebay .. http://prntscr.com/1nr25z < --- screen shot .. im just upset that poeple are not honest as this is the first time ive ever got anything bad off my 5 years of buying off ebay.. well .... i hope the lipo gods will revive these lipo's ..

That's unfortunate. I'd still try to work something out with the seller.

I have batteries for my E-revo brushless from www.spcracingbatteries.com. so far they are great batteries with great reviews and VERY affordable for lipo batteries. They also have those higher mah rated packs if you want to spend a little extra. Also try to get some gens ace batteries if you can find them in stock somewhere. Also extremely good batteries (everybody uses them) at a very low price.

awesome thank you kur .. ill look into them
