I have a Life Source HCAM6375 charger. When I first plug it in the LED flashes yellow momentarily then turns green for a short time, then flashes green on and off at approx. 4 second intervals. Is this the normal start sequence? When I connect the balance charge cable to my 2S receiver pack, the LED continues continues to flash green approx. every 4 seconds. The 2S pack does have a charge, does this indicate that it is charged? I have used this charger before and it responded as described in the instruction sheet.

Yes, when connecting a charged 2S receiver pack to the Hobbico Life Source HCAM6375 charger, the charger will beep and automatically detect the number of cells in the pack. The green LED will flash once for each cell in the pack, confirming detection. If the battery is fully charged, the red LED will later flash once for each cell, with tones for 10 seconds, indicating that fast charge has ended. This sequence is normal.
