Europa-List: Blinking Charge Light

Our electrical system has worked without a problem for 500 hours and 5 years. 
Recently
the charge lite has begun to blink on and off while in flight. It is still
on solid at low rpm or engine off and gets dimmer and finally goes off as
the rpm is increased (around 3000 rpm). But during cruise at 5000 rpm, it blinks
off and on. And this behavior seems a little intermittent. First noticed it
2 flights ago. The next flight was fine and today it was fine for the first
half of the flight and then blinked the last half. 

Yet the engine monitor shows the voltage constant at 13.2 volts and current into
the battery varying between 2 and 4 amps. These are the same as have been for
years. 

Any ideas or suggestions?
