Is this normal? Does this mean the battery is near the end of its life cycle?
Originally I thought my charger was failing.....so I bought a new one. It appears it wasn't the charger , because I'm trying out the new NiteCore charger I bought today, and the same thing is happening with the first pair of batteries I'm trying on it.
I put the batteries in at the same time, and the first battery finished charging somewhere around 3 1/2 hours. The second battery is still charging at 4 1/2 hours, SLOWLY creeping from 4.14 volts to 4.17 volts in the past HOUR.
Both pairs of batteries are about 1 1/2 to 2 years old, and charge about 3-4 times a week.
Has this happened to anyone else?
