I would say this happens because this charger is time-set and it doesn't
really measure charge of the battery, but instead it's calculated, how much
time must charger be on, after that it switches off. In this case, only way
to get full charge is to leave batteries in the charger over night, and so
they will slowly get full charge. Try and you'll see.
But, at the end, if you quick charge, it's not very wise to have time-set
charger, as you can easily put only half-empty batteries(or those with
smaller capacity) in and then they will overcharge and so you risk to
destroy them. It's better to buy another charger, which has so-called
delta-peak function - this measures real state of charge and it's not time
based.
Or antoher option, if you're not in a hurry, get slow 14 hours charger and
charge overnight...
