Tedd, are you talking about NIMH batteries?? Did you build them?? If so, you probably overheated them when building. There is nothing you can do to fix it. Heat is the enemy of NIMH batteries.

Ted I don't know what your doing or how your doing it but when I built batteries I always partially charged them then discharged and ballanced them! They may have come with a partial charge in them as most batteries do thus explaining why they only took 3300 MA! What is the volts when they peak? I beleive a 6 cell pack should peak at around 8.4 volts! If you don't have some sort of ballancer get one, they are pretty much needed for Nickel pack performance! See me on Saturday!

Hey Gixx, I'm still around.

A 6 cell NIHM pack should peak out around 9.2 volts.....

A 7.4 Lipo should peak out at no more then 8.4 volts....
