Default Battery light comes on when ignition turned off...

The battery light has started coming on when ignition is turned off on my Saph...

Just disconected the battery tonight so not to run it flat. Any ideas what would cause this?

does the light stay on if the blue wire is disconnected from the alternator ?

alternatively, does it go off if you pull fuse 22 ?
