Default Need help on charging battery.

I have a Superstar EP, With a 600 motor and a 7 cell 8.4v 2100mAh battery. Charger is a Duratrax Intellipeak Pulse Charger. I'am having trouble with charging the battery. I was told to do a few slow charges first on the battery. I can do a slow charge and the plane will run for about 10 mins. I have done 3 slow charges on the battery, and each run will last about the same 10 mins. Then I tryed a quick charger for about 35-40 mins that is when the charger went to slow charge showing that the quick charge is complete and I only get 1.5 - 2 min run time. I did another slow charge and got 10 mins. run time. Then another quick charge untill the charger went slow charge. I only got 1 - 2 min run time again. I was told that it might be false peaking on the charge. Do I have a bad battery or charger? Or do I need to get a different charger? Could use a little help on this! Thanks.
