The hyperion chargers treat it like a lipo, It will only trickle charge if voltage is to low. Either repeat several times until you hit minimum voltage then it will kick into full charge rate to use another method to get it some amps.

1) if you have 2 packs parallel them for a few minutes. Pack 1 will xfer e to Pack 2
2) do like above post say and use NMHI. BUT WATCH IT. if you forget and walk away it will kill pack. Just put like 500 MAH into it then go back to standard charge

OH and your pack is just fine... it does not hurt these things to heavy discharge them :)

PS you would be served well to config your a123 packs into groups of 3 cells.
Then you can Zip charge them. I do that most of the time and if I get LV from hyperion on the occasion that I am using it... I just zip charge for 1 min and then Hyperion works fine.
