The charger is sensitive to the resistance of the power leads. I was trying one the other night and I could charge at all - it was for a tx batt with a male servo connection. This is a prebuilt adapter I bought for my Ice charger to charge rx batts and its 24" long and servo wire gauge. I tried to connect to my tx batt to charge it from my 0610i and it kept giveing me an error. I tried a diff charge lead made it 14ga wire and only 2" of teh servo wire - that worked.

If your leads have some resistance, the charger my be reducing the amps?? The charger does this for safety reasons and I'm not sure what else it does for safety. As long as the leads you're using are 14ga or better that should be ok. Have you dnloaded the manual (4 page) and checked the setup? If you've done all that, time to see about service, something's not right. Mine hasn't done anything like that - I've charged a123s as high as 8amps with no prob.
