HRB battery won’t charge on peak plus

[canadaphil]

I bought my son a slash 4x4 for Xmas. I ordered a HRB 5000 ah 11.1v battery set for it. When I attach it to the ez leak charger it won’t enter manual mode. The green lights will only turn on if I don’t have the balance cord plugged in. Is the battery a dud or am I missing something?

What is the voltage of each cell?

 

[canadaphil]

So the voltage is 2v in each cell.

So the voltage is 2v in each cell.

That's dead, you need to discharge it and dispose of it ASAP. The lowest voltage a LiPo should go is 3.0v per cell.

@pug beat me to it. GET RID OF IT.

I'm thinking there may be a market for Lipo Coffins.
Sorry about the demise of your beloved battery, but welcome to the forum.

battery dead. toss it . get a new 1

You need to read and watch vids on LiPo care. Never let a LiPo go below 3v/cell. The ESC in your vehicle should have a low voltage cuttoff that shuts the car down once it gets to a specific voltage. I typically set mine at 3.6v or so. Read the manual for your RC on how to set this.

I regularly save cells that have dropped to 2V or less using a low current NiMH program to get them started.
But that's not something I would recommend to a newbie.
