14500 batteries questions/problems

[Ding]

I just bought a LRider Robust a couple weeks ago.It came with 2 650 mAh batteries,don't have any name on em but are black and red with horsies and cowboys on em.Went and bought 2 trustfire 900 mAh bats and then figured what the hey bought 4 trustfire 1200 mAh bats.Welp got the 1200's,NIB and they say they charge in about 5 hours,nope about 15-30 minutes max.Use one,lasts about 15 minutes or less(all 4 of them) I have a lithium charger that came with the rider and 2 650 bats.I can use them (650) about 2-4 hours as well as the 900's.I run about 4.0-4-3 V on the rider,seems to be the sweet spot for me.It has settings from 3.0-6.0.

The "people" I got the bats from seem to think I need a "new" charger,which charge my other bats fine.it's a trustfire T-001 or some such number multi charger.I guess my question is do I need a Q-36 space modulator loaded with Illudium Pu-36 in the 40-60 gigawatt range with view ports to charge my 1200 mAh batteries.I need good batteries and longer lasting bats.Any info would be great.Anyone have the best type of 14500's and maybe chargers that work great for you,I'm all ears ......Thank you

I had problems with the t-001 charger, I got a X-tar wp6 and it works great for all batteries (just need to make sure you get the proper amount of spacers), as for batteries I would recommend efest or aw

What device and resistance are you running on this?

Is the TrustFire actually indicating the battery charge cycle completed? Yanking them off the charger if the status LED is still red after 5 hours means they still aren't fully charged, and that there's possibly a problem with the TR001 if they aren't done by then either.
