put this on the charger, and the red light blinks 5 times fast. not a continuous blink, but sets of 5.  Never seen this code from a charger before.  Anyone know what this is?  looks like I gotta take it back, but the code really puzzled me.

There is a “key” on the front of the charger to tell you what the blinking codes mean.  I don’t know what 5 fast blinks is off the top of my head, but it will explain it on the charger.  If you are within warranty though, just exchange it out for a new one.

i know the codes for the charger that are printed on the front.  there is no pattern listed on there for what this is doing however.

I would go to your local service center to have it checked, or if it is still within warranty, exchange it where you got it.
