Red flickering LED when trying to charge batteries

Unit stopped charging, found out all 4 batteries were very low on water. Added distilled water. Now when plugged into AC power to charge, the led that is normally green during the charging cycle is flickering red/orange. All the connections are clean and tight.
I read a posting that says the charger wont work if the batts are too low. Is this true? I was thinking of calling local auto parts to see if they can charge/test these 6v batts, thoughts?
