I DO have one battery that is never even seen by the charger. No red lights, no lights at all. It was brand new, $9 aftermarket that was given to me and never took a charge. Good luck! Hopefully there's a solution. Could there be some chance that the power source is at fault? (I know this is ridiculous since we're all 60hz here and the chargers can be used anywhere in the world, I'm just thinking out of the box.) I have both the delkin and leica chargers and haven't had a problem with either. I usually use the delkin. If they don't work out, there's always film... Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!
