My Batteries Are Making Me Sad

I have a version (I think) of the Syma X5 quadcopter. Mine is re-branded as Holy Stone. I love this thing. It takes such a beating from my lack of piloting skills. Okay.. so...

I have about nine of these little 3.7v batteries. A couple of them are 600mAh (the others are 350mAh). I can't seem to get any of them to get a full charge. I have a USB charging cable that has a red light on it. When the light goes out, it's supposed to be charged. The problem is, it goes out within about thirty minutes. Two of the batteries are brand new!

The copter will fly for a few minutes, but then proceeds to go into more of a hover mode. If I let it rest a minute, it will fly again for a minute, then go back into low to the ground hovering again. The other problem this causes is that the camera won't stay on. Since the battery isn't full, I guess it shuts off the camera.

Ugh! I just want to fly this thing and get some video. Heck.. I just want to fly it for more than a couple of minutes. Thanks in advance for any help!
 
Hi mate I think the charger lead is cutting out to soon , If you have a volt meter check to see if its 3.7v when charged
 
Thank you. I'll check that. If so, it means my last charger was doing the same thing. They are both cheap, import chargers. Maybe that's why. Thanks again!
 
Hi mate its the same as the one i sent you but this needs a power pack , and will need charger board
Danger***** look at reviews this is a fake mate all these iMAX chargers have a hologram on the underside this does not
 
Hi mate these is no way to tell no photo of underside , the fake work but you need to check voltage and amps out put some have been known to cook a battery , Thats the last thing you want it will burn your house down
Try and find a listing for a genuine one its safer, if you look at this one on the hobby king site at the photo of the underside you can see the hologram this is what you need to see to know its real not fake
