Maybe the batterys are old or have internal problems with them. Or maybe they were not totaly charged.

Well I left them on the charger, until it shuts itself off. I figure I'll try discharging them all, and just wait until the next game to recharge em.

Hi, Your charger shuts off in an hour. But has your battery peaked out in that time? You can monitor the voltage with a volt meter hooked up to batt. while it's charging. Does your batt. have a little warmth to it after one hour? If so it probably reached it's peak.

Thanks for the tips. I discharged the newest battery, and then re-charged it, I was able to get off 3 Full Standards, and almost a 4th. So I got off about 250rds. The battery in which I overcharged, a month ago and melted the wrapping to, it got off about 20rds. I'm gonna test the last battery tomorrow.
