battery wont charge?

[majin]

Check the balance cinnector for pins that may have pushed out. It may be an internal problem, but the connector would be the fitst place to look.

i shot the battery. thought it would make it pop cool. no luck it jut disapeared. can't check on the battery now,
i think my biggest issue is that I'm using the cheapest equipment i could buy to get me into the hobby. I'm upgrading items as i go to better stuff. the hota from ali express has allegedly mailed. and I'm buying better batteries than the amazon specials i i ordered when got my first rc order
all my batteries are puffed to some degree sadly. i do keep them in an ammo case to hopefully contain any fire that might happen while I'm not home.
i was more wanting to learn what to look for to diagnose the issue for next time. @wicked mentioned checking the connector pins, was looking for stuf like that so I'm not always having to get on here and bother you guys for answers. ill try to find them on my own.
but its really difficult to find info sometimes when you dont know where to start/
i must have read 40 pages about batteries, and watched another 50 videos on em. they all repeat the same basic info but none adressed my issue so i dont even know how to FIND the relevant info for my problem so i come to the forum. but I'm trying to learn so i dont have to continuaslly look like a moron who doesn't learn.

It's all good brotha man. You just keep right on asking. Heck, I still ask questions all the time. Nobody knows everything, and that's why this forum is here.

Thats one way to "troubleshoot" it!

I was trying to walk you through how to track down the issue. When you troubleshoot something you have to work from the problem backwards until you discover the issue.

WF is right. You keep on asking away!

dont get me wrong bro you helped me a lot but mostly helped me to realise this battery and a few others are a lost cause lol. I'm geting a multimeter in next few weeks got a few other things i need more, but its on the list for sure.
I'm not geting any notifications these days so didnt even see any of this untill today. i thought it was a dead thread no one had replied to so forgot about it to be honest.
hope i didnt come off as salty in ANY way. I'm just frustrated by these cheapos and need to upgrade.
when i put it on the battery checker 2 cells were dead while one cell had a good amount in it. i think it wont charge because the charger is seeing that full cell and not charging, i hooked it up to a truck and ran it till it died. then tried to check it and it wouldnt turn on the checker. i tried to charge it again and it just sat there. so i shot it

you're good brutha, if 2 cells arent reading and the lipo is puffed its time to retire it anyway.

this bad boy rocks! o man i had to make a few connectors but i like the opportunity to get better at soldering anyways. it came to me in chinese took me awhile to get it switched over to english but finally did
it charges them really fast and i can see the level of each individual cell which is pretty cool
thanks to everyone who recomended this beast to me

what iron you got? I watched a ryan harris video that showed one a lot of racers use that’s easily to travel with

https://www.amainhobbies.com/maclan-ssi-series-simple-soldering-iron-set-mclssi-065/p1265159

not this exact one but very similar to it because there’s a lot of copy ones lol

The cheapest one amazon had to offer lol it's garbage
But it gets hot and melts solder so till I can afford a nicenstation I use what I got lol

Once you guys go to look for a soldering station, You can get THIS one off of Amazon for $48.50, and it comes with a reflow gun also. I've never used it personally, but it has 4.6 / 5 star reviews.
