Charger malfunction?

All three of my chargers, all the simple eGo type chargers, will not properly charge. When charging they simply glow red and blink a green light once every 20 seconds or so, even if the battery is fully charged or dead. Has anyone had this happen to them? And yes, I have tried not only charging via computer usb and wall block.

any info will greatly help!

bump... and for any wondering about battery and charger info, Two are 320mah 510 manual batteries, one 900 eGo twist and one eGo 650. All chargers are less then two months old and are used once every 2-3 days, always attended and never left on over night. all batteries minus the twist are less then 2 months old, the twist is about 2 weeks old.

I have a charger that I have been using for about 6 months now that does the same thing. It started doing the same thing a few days after I received it from a local B&M. It has not harmed any of my eGos or my girlfriends either. It does make you do a double take when it get towards the end of the charge because it will be green and then turn red again for a few seconds and then turn green. I just wait until it is fully green before I take mine off. I also make sure that the light on the button of the eGo is off before I take it off because it is supposed to turn off when it reaches near a full charge. I just think that it is reading the voltage of your battery and checking what it is at and then realizes it isn't fully charged and it keeps charging it. If anyone else has any other technical knowledge about why they do this then please chime in as I would like to know the answer as well.

Long response short: It doesn't seem to harm the battery at all. Check to make sure the light on your eGo is off and light on charger is green for 30 sec or more and it is fully charged.
