I'm not 100% sure about the usage of your charger, but that 600 mAh is what the dial on the right of the first picture should read. Unfortunately you don't have that as an option, and your lowest option is way too high. What your charger is trying to do is your battery over double what it is rated to. If you didn't catch your battery when you did, you would have probably started a fire. Basically it's like an automatic gas pump trying to fill a 10 L tank to 20 L, but in this case with electricity. Not so good. You are definitely going to need a new battery. If you want to use your current charger, you can (I would not recommend it), but you have to make sure that you get a battery that matches one of the settings on the right. For example, if you get a battery that is 1400 mAh, it will work, but you would always have to use a lower setting, or risk the same thing happening. This would also mean you wouldn't be able to fully charge the battery. It is possible, but again, I don't recommend it. You should probably get a new charger.

Also in the specs you sent, you didn't say what the battery's voltage is. It should match one of the settings on the left side of the first picture.
