RE: [RCSE] all this chat about chargers???

While we are on the subject...

I pulled a plane down to charge that I haven't flown for about two months and found that I had left the on/off switch in the on position.  The battery is 1100 mah and is less that a year old.  When I hooked it up to my new Litco Alpha 4 it showed an open circuit and would not charge.  I plugged the dead battery up to a wall wart charger and left it on for 14 hour.  The battery took a charge so I was able to cycle it with the Alpha 4 3 times.  Would you trust this battery in your plane?  Why couldn't I get the Alpha 4 to charge it?

Thanks,
