So query - why does the red light come on with the battery inserted? Could it possibly press back the tab in the charger so there is some metal to metal contact down there which does not occur when using just a clip?

If the battery you're trying to charge doesn't speak the same language as the charger you're using - it ain't gonna work right.
Smart batteries REQUIRE smart chargers. You can't just apply voltage and expect the battery to charge.
