My experience.
When the charger's LED flashes blue color, that's abnormal charging, the charger won't charge the battery. The battery was likely unused for a long time, it discharged itself to too low voltage(s), or the battery was used to near 0% of battery level. That's when the charger design can't bring the voltages back to normal to flash blue LED.
The battery got 3 separate cells inside it to provide 3 separate voltages (5V, 9V, 12V) to power different electrical/electronic circuits inside the Breeze.
In my case when the charger's LED flashed blue, I found that the 12V cell was low, below 10V. I used an AC/DC (110VAC-12VDC) adapter for my external hard drive to re-condition the battery. The connection to re-condition was quite simple as shown in the pictures. After 1 hour, I took the battery out to insert it in the factory charger, it was rechargeable with normal LED flashing by the factory charger again.
The tip of the AC/DC adapter was +12DC. A small screwdriver was used to help connect the alligator clip to the +12VDC.
If you have a voltmeter, check out the 3 voltage levels to see which is too low to re-condition only that particular cell with the proper AC/DC adapter (5V, 9V or 12VDC).
Do it at your own risk.
