I'd say you have possibly recieved older batteries from your supplier.

Maybe they have been sitting around on a shelf for ages?

I've noticed that those batts all have a date code on the edge of them which seems to be a month and year of manufacture (ie 02/08)

As you probably know rechargeable batts of this type will only last a max of about 3-4yrs, getting constant power fed to them.
Similarly, if they are sitting uncharged on a shelf for any length of time, that will also affect their life...

Check your date codes, if they're older than 3-4 yrs, get em replaced!
