Low Voltage isn't a total killer for a Lipo. Due to a faulty charger we drained 2 of our 5S 2600mAh packs down to less than 2.2V per cell and were able to recover them using a Pro-Cell 10 charger (It can run recovery cycles and I think we even ran a NiHM cycle just to force in some power) They have worked faultlessly since in over 10 fights and countless demo's.

All that said, be careful, and you can't do this with a cheap charger either.

Lifting mech is looking great though!
