Default Battery died quickly?

So today i took my crawler into my autoshop as my new project. haha. And i turned it all one and crawled some auto parts and whatnot, and the crawler started the spaz movement that it does when the battery dies within minutes.

This was the 2nd time to play with it. So it had the 2nd 6 hour charge.

Is the battery not holding the charge like it should? What could be wrong?

are you sure that it was charging? I have found that it's a little irritating that you can't really tell if it is charging or not. Was it was when you pulled it off the charger? Just an option...

only the 1:6 scale needs the 18hr charge. the 1:18 scales ones needs 1 6hr charge then another 6hr charge then after that its only 4hr charge. i think thats it

ya,make sure it is warm when you take it off the charger!

you might try running it way down then charging again..
make sure it wasnt plugged into an outlet that is controlled by a wall swith!
i had a customer complaining their cordless phone would only work sometimes!!
it was plugged into the outlet with the lamp plugged in so the phone would only work at night!! :-P funny!
