I also got a smart charger, not the most expensive, but not the cheapest. It has the auto-stop-charging function with trickle charging ... I shot about 500 rounds in full-auto (bursts).. and then the motor was getting slow... there is no reaction once I hit the trigger... anyone have a clue what the problem may be? I switched from auto to semi with no results as well...
They both finished charging after about 1 hour, I left one on the charger and used the other.. is it normal for brand new guns to maybe heat up too fast? or jam?

Truth be told, you don't really need to discharge modern Ni-Cad batteries, either. It doesn't hurt to do it every now and then but overall if you have a good charger they'll be fine.
As for the gun, what gun? And what was the charge rate on the charger?
