Battery says low cell count?

So I heard about the trick of charging your Lipo battery in nmih for a bit to bring up the voltage, which I did and it worked, but now the battery on knob setting on the charger is saying low cell count..what does it mean an what should I do?

Sounds like you're missing a cell. Go to cell voltage on your charger and see if you're getting a reading for all your cells. Cells rarely die outright so it's probably a balance wire issue. First thing first, see if your charger is reading all your cells.

you can do it a ramp said but I always use a vom to check cells voltage thru balance wire then I made this single cell wire so I can bust the lower cell voltage to get charger to see it. actually moded the plug to a male balance wire plug just cut the extra male leds off.

Wow I could never figure that out, that's Pretty cool how you were able to figure that out.
