In reference to the M@gcharger cradle (charger), does the LM317 shut down the charger?

I have taken voltage readings from the battery pack on several occasions. With a full charge reading of 7.23 volts I have left it on the charger for another 12 hours. A reading after the 12 hours revealed a charge of 7.23 volts. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif
I know that this is not a terminal voltage, because I have had the battery pack up to 7.41 volts.

What is the reason for no increase in voltage after 12 more hours of charging.

Thanks for the /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/help.gif
