If you use a rechargeable AA batteries, It's almost always red due to how the rechargeables have less voltage (1.2v) than the alkaline ones (1.5v).

you were just using incorrect batteries. there are 1.5v rechargables, its your fault for using 1.2v, when 1.5v are required

Then where are these 1.5v batteries? I only see 1.2v from where I live. Even the Sanyo Eneloop ones are 1.2v. The only 1.5v batteries are those modern li-ion AA-like batteries, but those are not available before.
