I made the same mistake a few years ago. My first clue something was wrong with them was that they were very light. I charged and cycled them twice on an Elite cycler and they came out about 400mah if I remember right. Got my money back, and went to these, which actually cycle higher than advertised - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tenergy-1110...item5b0591c066
