Default confused about battery hook up

Hello all i have a multiplex mentor and i hooked up a separate battery for the receiver .. Now it looks like the battery dosnt hold a charge for very long.
what i did was battery to sw and sw to receiver geer sw ..
The speed controller has signal wire and ground to the throttle
receiver is spektrum 6200
new battery hydromax 750 i have charged and discharged a few times and it dose take a 1/2 hr to discharge but it hangs around 4.5 volts
i am discharging with a futaba br 2000 at 1 amp
i re charge the battery for about 8 hrs with the spektrum radio wall charger
just dosnt seem normal to me
thanks all..
