Thank you. I've already tried that and it makes no difference. I also put a Samsung branded battery in and it reverts to the normal red light then green.

The instruction in the manual implies that sometimes the battery may be in an abnormal state, perhaps just a temporary glitch.  If it didn't clear when you reset it, there's a good chance it didn't charge properly.  You'll only find out by how long it lasts when you use it.  Perhaps it will accept charge once it has been used.  Perhaps not.  The aftermarket batteries can be a bit of a lottery.
