Unhook all the wires to that cell & hit it with the 12v battery charger (20A or so) until you get to 3.8 or so. Leave it for a while & hit it again till 4.0, sit for a while & go again till 4.2.
Watch it like a hawk & NEVER let it charge without watching very carefully.
Give that a go Wayne.

I'm now 87 years old, having experienced another birthday, and I'm still living in WA, single (gave up looking), white hair, no teeth, no money, no worries.
I plan to have another birthday next year.

Umm...... it might be too late, but don't charged the lithium cell any faster than about 1 amp until it reaches b3v and holds it over night. If you attempt to fast charge it when it is below 3v it will kill the cell

It's all on the T1 Lithium website Wayne, Margaret went into great detail to make understanding how the systems worked and how to put them into storage mode when not using the vehicle
