I got the Microflyer R/C plane for chrismas. It has a 150 ma rechargeable lithum battery. I'ts gone through a few cycles but the charge light isn't lighting anymore. I can't think of any way I might have abused the battery, and I think the charger has an automatic shut off once th battery is chargged. The batteries in the controler/charger are good. Does any body have any ideas?

Well.... er ummm, why not buy some of that old fashioned stuff called fuel? Stop mucking about Mate and re join the Luddites ;-) Electricity is invisable and therefor like a bloody ghost - catch you out when you least expect it and bloody unreliable if you ask me.....

One of them might be open or shorted. Measured voltage at each cell separately. If normal (between 3.2 and 4.2V) connect to the load (about 1 hr discharge rate or higher) and measure voltage again. It should not drop more than by 200 mV. If it does for some cell, that cell is likely dead.
