Default Duralite Users, I have a question

I have two receiver batteries that have not been charged in at least three months and when I plugged one into the duralite charger, the green light came on and started charging, after an hour I turned the switch on and had no power to the recever/servos. I put it back on the charger.

Then after two hours I got power to servos etc and stuff moved via transmitter and then for giggles I stuck my duralite voltmeter on the pack and to my surprise NOTHING. Stuck it back on the charger.

On the other pack I stuck it first on the volt meter and nothing, then stuck it on the charger and the green light blinked a few times (which I've never seen the charger do that before) and then it turned off with no green light indicating charging (blinking stopped somewhere between 5 and 15 minutes, I wasn't looking).

Any ideas what the blinking is for? And is there some voltage that the receiver pack has to reach before the duralite voltmeter will read it?

Thanks,

Sean
