Ive two 1400mah batteries, and the Im using the swallow EQ charger, set for the Life charge cycle....Ive cycled the batteries 5 times now. and the most they will take is 1170 mah.....they actually discharge more than they charge..one cycle it discharged 1210 mah and stopped at 5.3 volts the EQ will only discharge at a maxium 1.00amp, and starts the charge cycle at 1.80 amps, dropping off to about .30 amps when it peaks

several guys at the club are getting similar MAHs into thier cells, we all use the swallow EQ....are we doing something wrong. or are these batteries not 1400 mah.....or is it our chargers ?

what battery capacity's are the rest of you guys getting, and what chargers are you using?

not trying to stir any shit either..as I want the batteries to work...and perhaps there are some lessons about the batteries that you guys can tell me
