Yes. It is exactly the same model for MP110...MP130.

The 110, 120 and 130 only measure the battery voltage,
not the real discharge or charge current. The voltage
reaches the 100% value after a couple of minutes normally,
but the batteries are far from charged at that time.
So this is perfectly normal. Let it charge for half a day
or so and check occasionally that the batteries won't get
too hot. The LED should turn green eventually if the
battery is ok.
