If you haven't abused it severely, send it back.  Sounds like it got shorted
sometime--and it doesn't take but a few seconds to screw one up.  Second
thought--send it back anyway with the same explanation--I've had a couple of
the smaller packs just never come up properly--but they were in lower usage
apps. and not a problem.

   I have a 3 cell lipo pack that has a balance charge plug and a deans
ultra for power, has it's own charger.  This pack has never measured at 12.6
volts, like my other 3cell packs generally at 12.54 to 12.45 not to bad but
not really normal either. I never have been able to get a good charge on it
with my TP 1010 charger so I used the dedicated balance charger that came
with the micro heli kit. Here's the weird part had a crash and the brushless
motor had a problem recharged battery and after changing out motors this
battery wouldn't even arm controllers, checked with Wattsup meter only
showed 3.25 volts, ok so I have lost 2 cells, but then I decided to check
thought the balance tap with digital volt meter cell #1- 3.96, #2 - 4.07
#3 - 4.12  and a total from balance tap of 12.16, took deans off and same
readings.
   I'm guessing a pinched wire from manufacture on a power lead there's no
damage to battery even after removing the heat shrink, I haven't removed all
tape for connectors.
   I'm not worried about saving this 800MAH pack just very curious, and the
list seems a little slow.
