Battery Charging I have two older batteries that will only charge for like 30 seconds each. I have to re-set the power each time to get a small charge. Does anyone know if this is an old battery problem or if the aftermarket chargers are no good?

If the batteries are old, that is most likely the problem. Rechargeables eventually "wear out" and won't hold a charge.

It sounds like the generic brands issue. Although they are really cheap, they do not last long. They are done ... retire them... :(

Are these battery packs? If so, you can have the cells replaced by an authorized dealer. Sometimes this is a cheaper than buying new packs.

Many rechargable batteries, especially NiCad suffer from a "memory" problem. If you recharge them before they are completely flat, they won't accept a full charge next time. The more often you do this and the shorter the charge you give them, the quicker they die. You may be able to fix this by giving them a forced discharge cycle, available on chargers designed for NiCads.
