For what it'sworth, I looked at an MFJ-269 manual, and it claims to
trickle charge at 10 - 20 ma. At that rate it will take a long time to
charge a 2600 maH battery. They say minimum Vbat is 11V, but mine gets
flakey below 12. You might want to measure the under load battery
voltage when it fails and when you think it is fully charged.

I don't think a 2600 mAh cell will ever become anywhere near fully
charged at that charge rate. That's barely enough to maintain an
existing charge.
