a surge usually won't kill your motor.
Holding down the trigger when the motor is not turning will. That's why you'll see the fuse change colour and then melt instead of the coils in your motor. Canadian Tire sells 15,20,25A fuses.
Either your battery connections are no good or just crappy cells.
Since you are getting some 40 shots off before stopping, I am betting it's the charger. Borrow someone else's charger and try it out.
Some chargers can only charge NiCad or a switch for charging NiMh look around.
Dose your battery heat up after a short period or warm up at all after a few hours of charging?
