Battery Charging Question

[SFX]

I've just received some new, 3rd party batteries for my HVX200A and when I try to charge one the green light on the Panasonic charger flashes (instead of showing a solid green). What does this mean?

Thank you!

According to the HVX manual (pg. 16), flashing green means;

1. battery is either extremely hot or cold, but charging can continue
2. battery or charger is defective

I know, not what you wanted to hear.
