Default A few things to check...

I have the hobby wing sct pro and I have read that the voltage cut off is a little low so I set it to 3.0 volts per cell before I ran it. If I set it to 2.8 volts per cell do you think that would let the battery discharge more when im running it? thanks for any help.
1. Some Chargers have a time or Mah cutoff, check and make sure this is not the case. Some chargers have a default charge cutoff at 5000 or 6000 Mah.

2. Running you pack down to about 5900 is about right out of a 7000mah pack. I have a 6900 and when I hit the 3.0 cutoff in my SCT truck I put about 5500 - 5600 back into the pack.

Good Luck!
