Jim I did notice the two gold metal tabs that come in contact with the
battery. There was a green light on the right gold metal tab and the left
gold metal tab was not lit.

Does it make any difference, if there is paper over the front of the
batteries. The paper says WALYNX-RCHB-DRW and it covers the entire front of
the battery. Could this be why they aren't charging? I can peel the paper
off.
