Re: [RCSE] dead battery question

[Simon Van Leeuwen]

It can, but not always. Leave the pack alone for a day or so, then 
measure the pack V (no load). If you do not see at least 4V, one or more 
cells will need replacing. Replacing the bad cells will depend on how 
new the pack is to start with. It may be in your best interest to 
replace the entire pack if it has seen better days.

If you do see at least 4 volts, go ahead and slow charge @ C/10 for a 
good 24Hrs. If you have the means test the capacity to ensure it is able 
to put at least 90% of rated capacity.

Happy holidays

Hey guys,
I seen I left a 4 cell, 1100 mah Nicad RX pack on for 24 hours.
Does this harm the cells at all ?
Thanks,
