its not about how long they last its about how long you leave them being "charged". Like with a laptop once its fully charged your meant to unplug it.

Red means it's charging, green means it's charged. If it is going to green within a minute, either your batteries are fecked or your charge kit is. Try a different charge kit, if a mate has one or something, and if the same happens, your batteries are knackered. Those chargeable batteries never seem to last more than 2 years.
