I am not sure what you are using now, but a fresh 4s lipo battery should have something around 16.4V or higher (16.8 when it comes off the charger)---or 4.1 to 4.2V per cell. It is basically a depleted pack at 3.7V per cell or 14.8V for a 4s.
All that being said, I have been there and done that.
Now when I remove a pack from the plane, I make sure I put it away from the fresh packs.
