Hey Winton,

Definitely try what Keith suggests. In my limited experience, LiPos usually
perk back up just fine unless you actually drain them too low with a load.

Failing that, I just moved to an off-campus lab, where we have a whole rack
of beefy LiPo chargers. :) It's not far, though. Ping me tomorrow afternoon
and we can meet up. There's even a shuttle, if you'd like to swing by. Or
maybe I could make LUNAR lunch...
