The wires did not touch but it had pretty much the same results as the two that had crossed wires. I do not have a voltage meter. I was charging the batteries with the charger that came with the gun. I am pretty sure the gun came with a smart charger it has the green and red lights to tell if it is charging or not. The charging current is 500 mA

That is not a smart charger. Smart chargers will stop charging when the job is done, deplete it if you want it to, and can sometimes detect if they are full or not.
If you are struggling with this excessively, I would highly recommend taking this to a skilled professional to do this work instead, considering that you crossed the wires twice for some reason. By the way, I believe that this WILL fry your batteries. Correct me if I am wrong, but when you cross the wires, you create a complete circuit which will run its electrical charge. Since there's no conductor, resistors, or anything to use up the electricity (from the full battery) you've likely fried or damaged the cells.
