Are these Ni-cd or Ni-mh batteries?

Re: Just bought a ICS m4 CQB
So, going on Battery capacity x 1.5 / Charger Output that's:
2200 x 1.5 / 300 =
11 hours
It's not unusual for a new battery to not hold a good charge the first time you charge it

Re: Just bought a ICS m4 CQB
Put ur charger on 3A and fast charge it, im gueesing the battery is pretty dead.
fast charging doesnt damage it dramaticaly, you may loose a year or so off the life span but if you have a good battery it will out live your airsoft life. then every now and then dischrge them and they will be fine. iv been airsofting for over 4 years and never had a problem with batteries.

Re: Just bought a ICS m4 CQB
You said 8.8 hours earlier
Have you tried charging the battery again?
Edit: Don't stick 3A into it, Ni-Mh batteries don't like to be charged at such a high rate
