The flight pack with a 2s lipo and regulator sat on for 9 days and drained the lipo. When I checked the voltage on the 2s 850mah lipo it read under 2.6 volts and dropping under load. Without the load it rose to just above 3 volts. SO obviously I drained my 7.4v 2s pack quite dead/flat/ ka-put. </SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Wingdings size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Wingdings">L</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial

Then thinking I had nothing to loose at this point I put it on my nicad charger for a few moments and got the voltage up some.

Assuming the pack cycles within acceptable output IE (800mah or more), Do you think the pack is useable or should I just trash it. How much damage could have been done by slowly draining the pack flat. I think it wouldn’t be as severe as draining a pack flat under load( in flight).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></div> <div class=MsoNormal><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt;
