Just for future reference, things like "i just charged it for the first time on a new charger" might help us help you.

I figure that anyone who decides they love this hobby should really invest in a decent charger. Cuz it will definitely pay for itself in no time at all. Especially if you know youre gonna be stickin with this hobby for a long time. The batteries are 50% of your heli, car or plane. They need to be in as good as, or better shape than what youre flying or driving.

I bought the Hobbico MKII field charger and a seperate power source so I dont always have to charge using a car battery. With this charger I can do all 3 types of battery, thats what I like most about it. Although Im sure theres better chargers that will charge the battery a little more than mine. I was told by my LHS that mine charges to about 85% capacity as opposed to better ones that charge to like 95%. Its supposed to be for safety he says. I like that fast charge and even at 85% capacity I have some batteries with lots of charges on them that are still running awesome.
