Lipo battery won't charge ?

Evening all,
I have a 450mah overlander 2s lipo battery that I use for my trucks, unfortunately I plugged it in and it has gone under the low voltage mark

I've tried charging it with my imax charger but it's just flashing up and beeping ' Battery check, low voltage ' it's just under with both cells being 5.92, is there anything I can do or does it mean that it's knackered
Cheers Lee.

Charge it slowly as a nicad to get the voltage up and then once it gets high enoughcharge normally

What Tom said. Just be careful not to forget about it and charge it too high on NiCd!

Yep, same again but make sure you use a charging pouch. As soon as the voltage lifts a little, stop and continue charging normally. This method isn't approved by any manufacturer but it works!

Thank you all fella's

I did a similar thing, I rotated it between charge cycles still on the lipo setting and within a couple of minutes it came back up

it's charged as normal now, thanks for your help,
Cheers, Lee.
