Lipos fully discharged
 
well i left my smc 5000 mah 28c packs plugged into my maxx and i just took em out and they were fully discharged.
they wouldnt charge on my lipo charger so i put them on my nimh at 1 amp for 5 minutes and then put them on my lipo charger.they are charging fine now.

question is did i mess them up ? are they dangerous now ?

If they did not puff you are fine... Just make sure they are in balance before you fully charge them. I would suggest a low charge rate like 1 amp or less. Then give them an easy run and see if the stay in balance. If they do you are good to go.

i just charged one up to 7.70 and its balanced with no puffing. the 2nd one is on a low charge to get it up so i can put it on the lipo charger.

Sounds like you may be ok then... Just keep an eye on them!

You want the cells to be warm when charging, at least 70f.
