Default NiMh issues Please help!

I've been running two 8.4v NiMh batteries from all-battery.com. They are fantastic and powerful but just recently I noticed on my charger that one battery is showing just over 8.4v (which is normal) and the other is showing now 6.48v. Did I lose a cell or two? When I noticed it the other day I thought maybe I just drew the battery really low so I charged it at 3 amps. The amperage went up the same as the good battery, but only showed like 7.5v after it was done charging and I let it cool down. I emailed all-battery and hopefully they will warranty it, but I wanted all your inputs as well. Thanks guys!!!

not everyone has bl and some people like to swim with their trucks. You can't do that with the flux.
