Thanks for the times guys.  
When charging my batteries I found out i used 94% of my amps.. or at least that's how many i put in.  The batteries are still new so perhaps the numbers are slightly off, but it was a bit worrying.  I stopped flying at 21V and I'm pretty sure it was up to 22.2-22.5V at rest... but I like to stick to 80% amp usage.
