Default LIFE receiver pack & LRP Touch

Had an issue this past weekend charging a Life reiver pack with my LRP Competition Touch charger.
Here's what happened:
During practice on Friday evening the car went into fail safe mode
The battery was new the previous race and had been charged on the Touch charger before using it for the first time.
The run time since it was charged was less than 30 min. so I was less than impressed with the battery
Hooked up to the charger and it charged for about 200ma and then chimed as if it was done.
Since it is a 1700mah battery this didn't seem right so asked another racer that had a Life compatable charger if he would try and it took almost a liitle over 1400 before shutting off.
The car then ran practice, 3 rounds of qualifing and a 30min main without issues.
Read the instructions again and again. Can't seem to see what I'm doing wrong. The screen starts of showing hookup and battery OK
Any ideas?
