That yellow/green rapidly blinking is not a good sign. I had that with my Macbook including rapidly discharge when running on battery and look at Apple system Profiler. Mine said to check battery , not charging when in fact it was trying to charge.

The cycle count is important. less than 300 can get user a replaced battery with this program if qualified. I just di mine Friday and the replacement battery is working properly after two days.
