Question about charging a lipo I dropped to 7%. What would you recommend for a 3s 1400 lipo that was dropped to 7%. This is the average of the 3 cells. I was experimenting with some time flights and forgot to pay attention to the low drop. Is this lipo still safe to charge? Can I still use my conventional method of hooking it up to a balancer charger?
 
The individual cell count was 3.8 volts. all together they are about 10.85 volts. Resulting in the 7%. I never usually go lower than 35% on my lipos.
 
Hi Mate a lipo can go as low as 3.0 volts per cell but its nicer on the lipo if you dont keep going below 3.5 v per cell

I really have no idea what you mean. I've never seen folks quote percentages for use and I can't get yours to work.

That said 10.85 is ~14% less than a full pack at 12.6V. Or 10.85 is ~86% of a full pack (12.6V).
