0.2V is too high, 5 to 10mV per cell is a better -dV setting.

Depending on the settings on your charger, I would suggest the following to start with; youcan increase the charge rate to 2C later once you know everything is working OK.

Constant Current setting (not CVCC used for your LiPo)
1C Max (1500mA for your 1500mAh packs)
Max time of 1.2hrs
Max temp of +50°C
-dV of 60mV
