What I do is place the battery in a safe place (LiPO sack, crock pot, etc) connect it to the charger without using the balance board. I then set the charger to NiCad and the charge rate to 0.1C. Then I carefully monitor the voltage until it rises above 3 volts per cell. Then, I stop the NiCad charge and then finish charging with the normal Lipo balance setting.</font></div><div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div><div><font face="Arial" size="2">Rob</font></div><div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div><div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div><blockquote style="padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 5px; margin-left: 5px; border-left-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); border-left-width: 2px; border-left-style: solid; margin-right: 0px; "><div style="font: normal normal normal 10pt/normal arial; ">----- Original Message -----</div><div style="background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: rgb(228, 228, 228); font: normal normal normal 10pt/normal arial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "><b>From:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a title="mups1953@yahoo.com" href="mailto:mups1953@yahoo.com">mike mueller</a></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 10pt/normal arial; "><b>To:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><a title="nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org" href="mailto:nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org">nsrca-discussion@lists.nsrca.org</a></div><div style="font: normal normal normal 10pt/normal arial; "><b>Sent:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Monday, May 20, 2013 8:51 AM</div><div style="font: normal normal normal 10pt/normal arial; "><b>Subject:</b><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>[NSRCA-discussion] Help!!!
