Did not notice this blink before. Even when it is in slumber and plugged in.

As per the service manual here's what the Battery Status LED is saying:
- Green: The battery is in use and has enough power. The ac adapter has charged the battery completely.
- Blinking green: The battery is being charged, but still has enough power to operate. (At regular intervals, the indicator light turns off briefly.)
- Orange: The battery is being charged, but the battery power is still low.
- Blinking orange: The battery needs to be charged. When the indicator starts blinking orange, the computer beeps three times.
