New batteries usually show 8.4 volts fully charged. Older batteries will start to weaken after a while. Your batteries showing 7.2 volts will need to be replaced soon.?

I have three batteries, all genuine Yaesu FNB-83, 7.2 v 1400 mAh.? I charge them with a Yaesu CD-47 desktop charger.
When I turn on my FT-60, the display shows the battery voltage then goes to the frequency display.
One of the FNB83 batteries shows 8.2 volts on the display.?? This one lasts for 3-4 days before recharging.
The other two batteries show 7.2 volts on the display and last one day, almost two days at best.? One of them often doesn't even make it through the day -- most of my operation is listening.
Any idea why the differences?
Thanks,
