This is really puzzling, not what you would expect. The difference
between 1300 mAh and 1400 mAh batteries should not be significant,
your charger should charge the 1400 mAh batteries fine.
It should be safe to charge through two cycles, but it would not be
smart, it would shorten the life of the batteries considerably.
Could you check your new batteries individually, it might be the case
that one of them is bad. Or can you try another set of batteries? A
full charge should last several days intermittent use.
Of course, also the charger may be broken or the newton.
