7.8v is fine for a 2 cell and should charge with out any trouble.
I had a similar problem with my 4 new 14.8 zippys....... It was the deans that came on them.
Try alligator clips on the deans and see if they will charge

The way I found it was I plugged the deans in 1/2 way and they worked.
I then used a very small screw driver and scraped some plastic off the inside and now there fine.
