Re: First: 2008 Batteries are D-Y-I-N-G.
They were charged. We're not using the somewhat...lacking... charger from first either - we're using a far better one. No - this is definitely something going on with the batteries. It's nice to see other folks reporting the same thing.

We know the standard rules - you don't put them on concrete, never overcharge them, don't let them sit with no charge on them at all, fully discharge them before charging them again...
