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... Casey On Thu Dec 04 2014 at 9:55:13 PM Winton H. E.
