so as part of the vorza buggy i picked up last month it came with 2 3 cell Turnigy 5.0 matched 5000mah 25-35c lipos and i think one of them just took a dump on me but i'm not sure.
here is some background to help...when i got the batteries i put them on my Hyperion EOS 0619i Duo to verify the charge level. seeing they were not at 5000mah i slow charged them at 2.5 until the charger said they were full. i ran the buggy for about 15 minutes and then set them and buggy aside for about 5 days. Charged them again, ran for 3 minutes and then had to put them aside for a week. i did disconnect them.
today i went to run the buggy and it moved about 10 feet and died. i put my astro blinky on the packs and 1 pack is showing 3 cells and the 2 pack is only showing 2 cells. not thinking much about it, i put the 2nd pack on my charger and when i hit start it started blinking <2 cells> and would not let me change the cell count or charge it. the pack is not swollen or puffed.
is my pack toast? can i run it as a 2 cell? neither pack is actually marked as 2 or 3 cell but the hyperion works fine with the other pack...
thanks for the help
