Blinking light with battery charger, why?

I am charging a battery with the Canon CB-2LT charger (provided with Rebel

XT/350D, Powershot S50, etc). The light on the charger was initially red, as

expected, but after a few minutes it started blinking alternatively red and

green. Does anybody know what it means?

 

Accordingly to the Rebel XT manual, once the battery is charged, the light

should be green. I have put the same battery on a different charger (still the

Canon CB-2LT), and the light blinks alternatively red and green on that as

well. Contrariwise, a different battery on those chargers does not bring about

the same behavior. Any clue?

One of my chargers is designed to blink red and green as the battery comes close to being fully charged. After a while, the light remains green. Have you tried just leaving the battery in and let it keep charging and flashing for a couple of hours to see if the light stops flashing?

 

Just a thought: perhaps the battery is defective and won't accept a full charge.
