smartsolar control bottom right corner of display

Just curious if anyone knows what it is that flashes up in the bottom right of the smartsolar control display, it's gone so fast I can't get a picture, can't say I have noticed it before and it isn't in the manual.

The manual does not show any segments there.

Tried looking at it with polarized spectacles? Tilt your head one way then the other. (really!)

Finally had time to get a shot of this and it's the storage led, not mentioned in the manual.
Wondering why it is coming up though

For a short period of time, mppt's did have a storage mode as part of the charge algorithm.

Seeing as mppts start a new charge cycle each day, storage mode didn't make sense and was discontinued.

That explains why the storage segment is part of the lcd's display.

Does not explain why it has popped into view now though.

It would be good is someone from Victron could enlighten us why it is appearing.
