(b)(4). The sample was returned for evaluation. A visual exam was performed and no defects were observed. An attempt was made to charge the cartridge with the charging unit that is shipped in the kit with the handle and led cartridge. The red glowing charging light blinked between glowing red and green. This pattern of blinking indicates a charging discrepancy within the charging circuitry. The cartridge was destructively inspected; no sign of battery corrosion was present. The complaint of the cartridge not charging is either related to the charging circuitry, or the age of the battery. A conclusion could not be chosen as the complaint was confirmed; however, a root cause was not established.
