Any ideas why the batch of them aren't coming to green light?

Nope, no ideas.
Could I trouble you for the make and model of the battery charger?

Found your charger:
http://www.canadiantire.com/AST/browse/4/Auto/3/Batteries/BatteryChargers/PRDOVR~0111503P/MotoMaster+10%2B2A+Automatic+Battery+Charger.jsp?l ocale=en
Where do you have the switch set?
Conventional or AGM-Deep Cycle?
Does it match the type of battery? If you're not sure, the make and
model number of the batteries please?

I don't trust that type of cheapo battery charger.

All but one in the picture were either blown, or have successfully
killed at least one battery. One boiled all the water out of a
battery. They're all junk. I took a few apart to see what was
inside, but all eventually went to the recyclers. Your Canadian Tire
charger is probably something similar, except in a metal case. Buy
something with a microprocessor, temperature compensation, battery
temp sensor, multi-stage charging, automatic (so you can leave it
connected) etc. Plan on burning at least $200. You'll probably save
that much by not killing batteries.
