So I built my pack a couple of years ago, and I have a 9800mah 12v battery in it. From day one, the original charger was enough to turn the whole system on, but as soon as I unplugged it, the system wouldn't run. I went to the hobby store near me and I bought a 12v 600mah charger that has alligator clips for it's connection, tapped those into the plug from the original charger, and it worked like a charm. Well, I left it in the garage and the Texas heat killed the charger. So I ordered one of the original chargers from eBay (the first one I had broke, it wasn't constructed very well), and it claims to be 12v 1000mah charger - but I have the same issue as I had the first time.
Any ideas why a 600mah RC charger would charge my battery, but a 1000mah charger wouldn't?
For reference, this is the battery I'm running in my pack:

This is the charger I was using that worked fine until I killed it:

And this is the charger I bought that will power the pack, but won't actually charge it:
