Battery

Unable to charge robot. Only charge the robot on one occasion. Then try to recharge the battery when the robot says it has to be charged. All LEDs flashes red six times and stop 1 second in cycle. I know it says the problem is a 300mv difference of voltage between battery pack. How can I solve this problem?
