RE: Dead Li-po?
5 volts is really too low. If all the cells were equal I'd take a chance and attempt to charge it slowly imediately. If the cells happen to be very unequal voltage then not. It's probably a goner and should be discharged the rest of the way to 0 volts and thrown away.
Hopefully it has a tap to measure each cell's voltage. 5/3= 1.7 (hmm that is really too low even if equal) [

RE: Dead Li-po?
well when I first relized it, it was like 3.5 volts, I guess its a 45.00 lesson on Li-po's. I have a new pack with a ballance lead, and watch it like a hawk. The 9c that im using dont have any prob with the 12. volt when charged.
