Hi
I have 2 LiPo batteries in series, and have used a commercial charger to charge them up (SMART 2020). This works well.
What I did then was disconnect the wall cube but left the batteries plugtged into the charger.
Two days later I checked the voltage on the 2 batteries in series and it was 1.5V!!!
The charger must have DRAINED my batteries.
The problem now is that if I plug in the wall transformer (power the charger), it reports an error upon charging. It is incapable of charging the batteries!
My questions are:
(a) What can I do when the LiPo's are over-drained?
(b) Is it common for a charger that is not powered to drain the batteries?
Thank you in advance.
