"I have on that’s only three weeks old, bought from Universal Radio, no 
problem whatsoever, drop it in and it goes red, once charged it goes green."

Strange.  That's how my old ones work.

"Are your batteries OEM or aftermarket, NiMH or NiCD or Lithium?"

Strictly OEM stuff.  Factory radio, battery pack, charger.  Battery NiMH, 
FNB-83, came with the FT-60, was in the box.  Also should mention that since 
the beginning, people complained about the excessively rigid antenna 
spearing them.  They changed the antenna too, so flimsly, it's hard to 
remove once it's tightened, it just twists up.  This is a new set of 
equipment, radio, battery, antenna, charger, all new, all matching, all from 
Yaesu and sold by HRO, no mix and match, no aftermarket stuff.

I double checked the new factory battery on my old charge, just in case 
there was some malfucntion in the new pack causing the new charger to go 
FUBAR, no problems, new radio, new pack, OLD charger, drop it in, red, 
charged green.  Still points to bad chargers.
