Bad Lipo Battery?

[Chromey]

I bought a few 7.4V 1200 Batts a few weeks ago, And one will not balance?
Does this happen with Lipos? I currently own 6 Lipos and none have had this issue.

The are wired to deans, And Im using a IMAX B6AC to balance charge them.

Cell 1 =3.72
Cell 2 =4.20.

Advice?

bad cells happen... you can try and cheat it back to healthy status but you need to try and drain the full cell before you try it... basically you approach it the way you try and bump an overdepleted pack..

This can be dangerous so do it in a controlled envirnment where there is no firehazard, if the pack goes up in flames, it's better there be minimal charge in the good cell.

Of course... you probably don't have this kind of equipment:

easy, safest method to deal with this is to use your charger and discharge the pack, toss it and get a new one.

Ill contact the retailer, It was brand new, This was its first charge.
