Hello, and happy new year!

Does anyone have a foolproof, or near foolproof set of steps for charging
the lythium Ion battery pack for the THF6A with a Maha MHC777+ smart
charger?

I have been making several attempts at this, rather than using the wall
charger that comes with the radio, since the Maha charger is supposed to
charge battery packs more quickly.  It seems as though the battery pack
partially charges, but never all the way, even after I leave it in for 10
hours or so, and the charger says "full" on the LED indicator screen.  I
always make sure that the battery type switch is turned to the "lythium ion"
setting--i.e. the left- position.

I also have tried discharging, and then charging, but still don't seem to be
having the greatest luck.

And, of course, the problem is that the charger itself gives very few
audible indicators of what's going on.  There aren't even any lights that
you can detect via the use of a light probe.

Thanks for any suggestions you can give me.
