Why do I have an unknown battery icon?

[AC Question]

Unknown battery icon

I have a Samsung Galaxy 2.0, 7 inch, and in the upper left corner there is a battery icon, tilted slightly to the left, black, and with a gold lightning bolt through it. What does this mean? It seems to be completely unrelated to the actual charge of the battery. It just popped up recently. I've had the tablet for 2 years, and when I pull down the notification bar, there is no explanation for this icon. I cannot get rid of it.

Do you have any battery saver apps installed? If so, and if that app recently was updated, it might be a new "feature."
