A while ago I had a similar problem where the charger could read the individual cell voltages but the deans plugs got very hot, and the total output voltage was less than the sum of the two cell voltages.

I changed to a home made charge lead and this cured the problem, it was just because the main (4mm-deans) charge lead supplied with the charger was cheap and nasty (even though it was a good charger!).

Check the resistances of the red and black wires from the 4mm banana plugs (the ends that plug into the charger) to the male deans terminals. I've still got that charge lead, it looks like there's nothing wrong with it but it's just cheap and nasty like I say.
