If you also have Growl installed, you can disable the power related
notifications in Growl. To do this, go into Growl's Preferences,
Applications Tab, find HardwareGrowler, go into its settings, and go
to the notifications tab, find in the popup any notifications relating
to Power, and uncheck their enabled box. If you don't have Growl
installed, HardwareGrowler 2.0 is nearing done, and has the ability to
disable various parts (be it the notes for Volume mount/unmount or
Power related ones) entirely. I don't have an exact timeline on
HardwareGrowler 2.0, but it will be entering beta after WWDC next
week.

it's one of the notifications but if it's flickering so much like that makes me think your adaptor or battery is going bad as I've never seen that and I use hardware growler a lot to help notify of any changes hardware wise on my Mac

Subject: [growl-discuss] Hardware Growler constantly updating power status

Hardware Growler is constantly (once every 5 minutes or so) telling me that my power cable is plugged in and charging, and won't shut the hell up. If I leave my macbook and come back a while later i'm always greeted by a growl summary screen with a flood of these messages. It's information I simply don't need anyway - I don't need to be told when i've plugged in or unplugged my charger. I already know i've done this, because i've just done it.

Is there any way to disable this part of Hardware Growler for good?

If on 10.6.x (not sure if 10.5 has it also) you can check in the System Info and check the power section and see how it lists the battery and maybe power adapter

We're working on HardwareGrowler 2 which should help with some of this. If not, then let us know after 2 is out. It'll be at least another month if not more than a month before 2 is ready to be beta tested.
