What about question #1?
What voltage should my prodigy be running without a load?

Yeah Casey already took care of that. Did I mention she does a great job and you should give here a raise.DW ... I don't doubt the battery is likely bad ... We have bad batteries all the time I'm assuming you shot Casey an email for a replacement?
This happened to me also. I found that the spring connector on the charger was weak on one side, so that only one of the batteries was actually getting charged. I tested this by charging the battery in question on the "good" side of the charger and it charged properly. Sometimes both would charge but it was hit or miss.
The fix was just to bend up the weak spring on the charger to make better contact. I've done 6-7 charges since then and not had a problem.
Yea, I have that same problem with both of my chargers. Also take a look at the negative end of the batteries, I have one battery that has a nice big dimple in it from the positive and of another battery. That will make it difficult to get good contact on the charger.
There's always the Universal Battery Contact Fix. Just give each end of the battery a nice juicy lick before you plunk it in the charger. Gross it may be, but a nice thick wad of spittle will work wonders! (Taught to me by my then teenage son years ago).
