Fried Lithium Ions

[JTPaintball]

Ok the title pretty much says it all, I fried my Lithium Ions on my Gen1 xmod. When I bought the lithium ion kit it came with a paper that said " do not leave lithium ions plugged into the xmod over night" so like an idiot thats exactly what I did! I'm sure you all heard your not suppose to let lithium ion get lower than 3.0 volts. Well when woke up and I was done banging my head against the wall I checked the voltage and it was around 0.9 volts! So I fully charged the batteries and put them in my xmod and it barely creped forword. I tried doing this multiple times and it still dose the same thing. Is there some way of getting
the lithium ions to hold a full charge again or is it trashed? If so whats the best place to buy new lithium ion cells?



Thanks!

eew.... um ur pretty much screwed on that one , I guess you could just buy another set from where you got ur 1st one....

I'm not certain if you can get them back, you'll probably just ruin them more by charging/discharging at such a low voltage.

You could order some from an Xmod store, or from a battery store. You'll find some good batteries at online stores, such as batteryspace.

These wouldn't be bad:

Search for what you want (cell size). I don't know what you had it setup as (2s2p, or not)..

I hope you're trying to be ironicly funny..

[xmodsnut]

oh yeah they do catch fire look it up on youtube and see it for yourself.

you could bring liths back...... you have to trickle charge them back up itll take some time and no mistakes and you could get them back.............. i dont kno the step by step process but its possible

(>.>) No duh they catch fire..

Does anyone know why they catch fire? (That'll harp your brain for a while..)

[JTPaintball]

I looked all over google and every site says you cant trickle charge a lithium ion.
Are you sure you can do that?

Because the lithium is suspended in a flammable liquid and if the batts are overheated or internally shorted the flammable liquid burns. (not much brain harping)
