Beetle Board Green Light Blinking

I have a sketch running on the Beetle ESP32 - C3 (RISC-V Core Development Board). When the sketch runs, there's a green LED near the reset that blinks randomly while the device is powered. The wiki page says that's the Charge LED, but why is it blinking? 

 

I'm not charging a battery, so why is the charge light on? Is it supposed to be a power LED? if so, why does it blink?

nevermind, I finally found it. Blinking means battery not connect.

I did check the board's documentation, I specifically referenced that in my question: “The wiki page says that's the Charge LED

 

There's no reference in the wiki to it blinking irregularly so that's why I asked the question here. If you don't know, then there's no need to respond.

The blinking green light on your Beetle ESP32 - C3 board is likely a status indicator showing that the board is powered and running your sketch. It’s not necessarily related to charging, especially since you’re not charging a battery. Check the board’s documentation or your sketch code to see what the LED behavior is meant to indicate.
