Two VMLs, less than a year old. Two VML chargers of the same age. I plugged both VMAs in to charge on separate chargers and one charger started blinking, dimly, green, indicating that the battery on that VML was fully charged. Switched chargers and the second charger indicated charging. The first charger went to blinking green on the second VML. A diagram:

VML1 <-> C1 blinking green
VML2 <-> C2 red

VML1 <-> C2 red
VML2 <-> C1 blinking green

Are the chargers that sensitive to the battery levels or is there a problem with that charger?

With known depleted batteries, does the one charger immediately start to blink green? Or does it start to blink green after some time?

Does the red charger ever switch to green?

A blinking green or solid green charger LED is an indicator of a full charge (or a charge considered complete by the charger). If the charger never goes red on a known depleted battery, then there is a problem.

OK, depleted batteries and both chargers are behaving as expected. One charger must have a more sensitive "full" indicator.
