They all do that, VST chargers that is. On a charging error they blink a 
series of red flashes, all the way up to 8 as you've discovered (highest 
# I've seen is 7 flashes.) The docs that have came with any of the dozens 
of VST chargers that have passed through my hands say nothing about those 
flashing codes nor what they mean. I've yet to find any docs anywhere for 
the details of those error flashes, and certainly not on the thoroughly 
horrible VST "support" site.

I'm positive each blinking series means something specific. I'd love for 
an ex-VST engineer or somesuch to come forward and let us in on the 
details.
