That sounds about right for the age of the batteries. All rechargeable
batteries get a memory and fail to fully charge after some time. Here
are two links that could help. The first is for cheep batteries. The
second (Frank's site) tells about how to rebuild them.

If you would find this task daunting we may be able to work something
out. I have rebuilt several eMate packs and would be willing to
negotiate if you would like me to rebuild yours.
