LiPo - Cell Voltages

12 Megohm is as near as dammit open circuit. Sometimes the balance wires fall out of their jst-xh connector pins and the repair is just to fit a new pin or connector.
The battery would have no voltage atall on the main connector if the cell was really open circuit!
I suspect there is nothing wrong with the LiPO except for a broken balance connector or one of the balance wires itself is broken.

in the case of the Beast Lipos John they had ballooned for some time, but squeezed as much life out of them as possible and I knew I had duffed them earlier for reasons I won't go into here. In Colin's case there was the voltage difference and mid cell high resistance. He had said it was no longer performing as expected.

I had to bite the bullet and buy two more 6 cell 60C Lipos. Tried the new one yesterday on the Beast bipe. Now it's a performer!

JRI, I think Phil has his Mohm and mohm mixed up.
