95 850 GLT - Alternator/Battery light normal on shutdown?

I've been meaning to ask. On turning off my car, it's typical to see the battery light (okay, technically it's the "generator not charging" light) illuminate for about 1 to 2 seconds as the engine dies. There's no abnormal sounds from the engine compartment and no alternator/battery issues when starting or running, just the light, and only during the shutdown process.

Should I be concerned about this? I'm not thinking that it's a problem, but thought I would ask, as long as y'all were here.

My 93 does this too. I imagine its because the rpms die as the engine comes to a stop. Ive never had a problem with the charging system on it.

Its normal, my 850s been doing it ever since i've owned it. Never once had a alternator or battery problem.

That's what I figured , but it's good to get validation.
Thanks!
