it doesnt make (enough) sence that you get a green light when it has not reached voltage (which is all the green light shows) cause you should have about 4.1v on a green, but the things are a bit loosly done.
you do know that with the cheap chargers they
can keep charging after you actually see a green light, and that little bit of topping at the end can change the voltage of the battery to the highest charge level.
for example green light goes on at 4.10 (-+ a bit here and there) and the max charge it can reach when left on should be 4.20 (-+ a bit here and there)
Notes: some chargers might not stop at 4.25v even though they should, complete death of the cell doesnt occur till past 4.35v depending on the cell and age and all
SOOOO, if you pulled them at different total charge ammount, they potentially could be at slightly different voltages.
mabey i can even draw that ?

on the left we have the lame charger which sits at some voltage , and is only capable of so much current, that is suppesed to stop before it gets to high
on the right you have the stupid light that almost arbitrarily turns on at some voltage. As long as the voltage of the charger doesnt go over, leaving the cell on till its full is the only way to have it be FULL.
you get better longevity if you dont fill it completly, but the green light does not always designate completly full.
spacers and magnets and all that stuff can change how "well" the cell is connected to the charger, and can have the green light and time for total charge be different.
