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?

Fact of the week
Bluetooth is named after the 10th-century Viking king, Harald Bluetooth, who united warring tribes in Denmark and Norway. In 1997, Jim Kardach from Intel gave the name to the technology because of its ability to unite different communication protocols, just as Harald united various tribes.
