What everybody is assuming is that this was a screw up.It could also just have been a bad cell 

The manual does say not to put a fully charged pack on the charger and discharge first if any doubt.

I can't say how the charger works, but my uneducated guess would be that the voltage rise (internal impedance) with the application of current would be different between charged/uncharged cells.

What still bothers me is:- If 3 fully charged cells = 12 V plus, and 4 
discharged cells = 12 V Plus, then how does the charger know which is which?
