I just recently bought an SVD with a Trustfire charger and a battery. On the charger, the light was red for literally a few mins after putting the battery on, but then turned to green. The SVD light is yellow for a few puffs then turns to red and subsequently dies in minutes. I have even tried leaving the battery on the charger for 10 hours. The light was green on the charger practically the entire time the battery was charging and my SVD still dies within minutes. I have never had a green light on my SVD, which means it has not registered a full charge from the battery. I thought I would ask on here first before contacting the local B&M shop I bought it from. I had an issue with a brand new Protank I bought from them and I do not want want to be "that guy" that is always complaining about brand new stuff. Any help would be great. Thanks!

Get a multimeter and you can measure the voltage of the battery. Mystery solved!
Sometimes stuff is just bad, don't worry about being "that guy" and get your equipment right. You paid for working stuff and something isn't working, I'm guessing either battery or charger, possibly both.
i keep reading around here that you should never trust a battery or charger with the word fire in the name.
Usually, anything battery related with "fire" in the name is going to be a gamble. I'd be willing to bet your SVD is fine, a name brand battery and charger will most likely solve your problem. I recommend a nitecore charger, and any name brand battery with an appropriate amp rating. LG, Samsung, Sony, eFest, MNKE, or AW all have great history providing quality batteries.
I have a Trustfire TR-001
Make sure the switch on the side is set for 3.6 volt, not 3.
