7h * 220mA = 1540 mAh, looks not so bad...

One cycle should be enough if the charger provides 220mA. Above you
probably made a typo: mAh.

Something else must be wrong. Maybe only one cell has low capacity.
Measure the voltages of each cell after charging and discharging. If one
cell has abnormal low voltage it might be damaged. Also if one cell
doesn't reach the 1.3 ... 1.4V after charging.
