try a discharge with a trickle charge after... discharge at 2 amp..
Put the charger at 500 mah and let it charge them over night.. it will take for ever with that many cells.. but it will bring them up to full capacity..

when abbie charged them they were fine, but on the ice you select how many cells and all of that, on mine you select what you want t ocahrege it at and then it suppose to detect it. kind of weird

i dont have that charger.. but some times when i charge my 3300 it stops in about 3 or 4 minutes... then i just restart it and it goes for about an hour at 3 amps.....
if your batteries are NiCd then discharge them before you charge....

With the Triton you need to setup the peak detection in the menu before you charge.
How old are the batteries and are they NiMH? You want to charge your recever batteries at 1C, so 1.1amps. Also, for peak detection select 3-5mv/cell if they're fairly new NiMH.

Just a thought. One of your cells might be going bad and or has a poor connection that opens up when the battery pack gets charged.
