Can someone explain to me how the calibration for the LP-E4 work on the charger? Am I meant to hold the button down, press it once, and is amber or green LEDs meaning calibrate?

I've been doing that but it still keeps telling me that a calibration is recommended...

I don't have a 7D or a 5D, but i'm sure the manual covers this topic

First, if the battery is not depleted do the calibration overnight because it takes a looooong time.
Put the battery in the charger and press and hold the calibrate button. You need to do this before any of the green charging lights illuminate. Hold the button in until one of the red calibrate lights start to flash. Sit back and wait for the battery to fully deplete itself and then charge. Done.

I am gonna assume Eric_L meant to say that he does not have any chipped batteries?
