You don't give us a lot to go on here. So I will ask some basic questions. Are they getting hot when you try to fly them?
How are you charging them? What is you ESC cut off set at? Do you have a voltmeter that you can measure the voltage at the battery connector? If they read less than 3 volts/cell then they are discharged. Charge them and the should read close to 4.2 volts/cell.
