1) the charger shut (peaked) the batteries off at around 4600 mah (the battery states on it 5000 mah) is that normal? kinda like a computer hard drive stating its a 100 gig but is actually only a 94 gig?

2) the batteries were pretty hot when I took them off the charger. Normal? if so how hot should they get? also, do I have to wait until the batteries cool before using them?

Note - I know that I have to wait until the batteries are cool before recharging them again.....

thanx again
Now something else has been happening. The last 3 or 4 charges one of the packs is only reaching around 3800-3900 mah and is stopping at about 65 minutes. The other pack reaches normal mah of about 4800 and the charge time is about 75-80 minutes...... Why is one stopping so early? Did I buy a bad/defective pack?
