    Yeah, let it sit on charge for a while.

    Lithiums are a very different beast to Lead Acid.
    For one thing they can't charge 'low' cells like a Lead Acid will IE once any Cell in series gets to max charge the charging flow virtually stops.
    For that reason they have to have balancing circuits for the Cells.
    Thats why some batteries of similar rating are more expensive and many manufacturers are selling versions they call "smart" as they have the circuits internal to the Battery.

    Anyhooow... let the sucker sit there on charge for a while and see what you get.
    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
