Default Battery charging help

I need some help, I have a 959 super brain and I am trying to charge my battery pack for my controller. I have 8 Ni-MH 2000mah AA’s. When I charge them I am only getting about 10 min of runtime out of them. I also had a pack for my car by trinity; I was running it for about 4min and the battery went dead causing my car to run off. That pack is now in the Connecticut River. I am so mad I spent all this money to get off disposable batteries when they worked out better for me. Can some one tell me what I am doing wrong. [:@]

What do you mean not intended for thies batteries. I am charging at 1amp at 2mv but it will only charge for 16 min then it shuts off. Then it starts that trickle charge even if I leave it on the whole time I still only get about 15min run time. The instructors that come with the 959 are crap. Looks like it might be an ebay thing. And go back to good o batteries

well try charging them again after it stops. it sounds like the charger is just to sensitive. that happens to me sometimes and i charge them again and it works fine. also maybe its a bad battery pack.
