Default Optimate4 goes quickly to green?

Hello sv650 riders
I got this charger in the post at the weekend, took me the weekend to understand the manual ! It made my brain ache.

Eventually I got it, it swaps every half hour between charging or running a testing sequence to verify that the battery is holding the charge.

However after placing my problem battery on charge it charged for a bit but after about an 30 minutes went to the test sequence. Then went green and stayed there, didnt return to charging.

This battery had been totally flat (requiring a bump start) a few days before. Its the original Yusa and is probably about the original battery with the bike ('02 plate).

I get the impression that these clever chargers have problems with GEL batteries ?
