Default RE: batteries

I recently pulled all my airplanes and radios out of a 12 year storage. Long story why they got placed into storage, won't go into it here. Anyway, I have a "New in the Box" Futaba Skysport 6 radio that was in my inventory 12 years ago. I have charged and discharged the tx & rx batteries a couple of times, and they seem to be holding a charge OK. Question is..... should I trust these batteries? I bought a new JR 4.8v 1000 mah rx battery, and it appears that my futaba charger for the 500mah pack may not be enough to charge this new battery. Any guidence here would be appreciated. Also wondering if maybe I should just belly up to the bar and get a Triton charger.
