 On my G1G1 XO, I've got a strange way of working of the battery LED.
 It seems that "flashing red" and "green" indicator is reversed.
 So:
 - The LED is Orange when the battery is charging
 - The LED is Flashing red on normal use (plugged or unplugged)
 - The LED is Red when battery is very low
 - The LED is never Green !

 At first, I thought that it could be a deffect on the power battery
 management (as mentioned in documentation) but I've done lot of
 charged/decharged cycle without any problem.
 By the way, the battery indicator in Sugar seem to work right.
