If I take it off charge the charger says the packs are at like 7.2V but just seconds earlier on charge mode it was reading 8.5V and higher. I only have it charging at 0.5A. Any help would be appreciated.
That's normal 7.2V NIMH packs can charge and show voltages from 8.5 volts and up to 10V a 7.2V pack that peaks at 10V is not a good pack and is worn and ready to put in the trash.
