I have several dual chargers for different cameras and they are sequential. However, I just inserted two almost fully charged S1R batteries into the new dual and both sides read the existing charge and are flashing as if charging. Perhaps this model is not a sequential charger, but I’ll check the charge levels after one hour. Both we’re at 90% to begin with.

Just checked, and I can’t be certain but it looks like the right side reached full charge first.  But since both were at 90% to begin with I’m not certain. However, I can say that the charger works, sequential or not.

Not normal. Both displays should light when the unit is powered up. With two batteries installed the charge level meters should flash, but not certain what happens when only one battery is installed. But since it appeared that the right side charged first on mine, try moving the battery to the right compartment.

Just to close this thread...

Just plugged a battery into the right side with no battery on the left... charging fine. I had already charged left side only. So now we know... either side should be fine for charging.

Good luck Tim... sucks that yours was broken.

Wow... what a horrible design...

4 things needed to charge the battery in an AC outlet!! Genius....

I think it is a great concept.

using an USB powerbank with PD output of 27W I can charge the camera or the battery on the go in my bag in very short time. Also supplying the camera with power while shooting is possible independently from a wall socket.

I agree that when I first saw the charger I was surprised, but then realized that with a USB-C cable I could charge directly into the camera from my car or laptop. I could never do that with the SL.

I now carry a cable with me in my bag at all times. This is one of many things I like best about the S1-R.

There is a USB charger by Nitecore for the SL (also available for M batteries)
