I had them on the bench using my battery charger to set the patterns. The lights would come on and just steady burn, and not change patterns.
SOOO after talking to James (SireLite), he said to go out and hook them up to the truck battery and try that. I did and they worked just fine.
I dont understand it. My charger is 40 amp, i figured that would be enough juice!

I'm thinking that your charger wasn't providing the appropriate voltage. You ought to test your charger with a voltmeter while you have one 700-series LED connected. In order to produce 13.6 V DC, I imagine that your charger needs a to be connected to a larger load than what just one 700-series LED can provide.
