Hi
most of the hdi cars have that on and only usually come on when radio is left on and turns off after a certain time.
Its just an energy saving device built into the car and turns off when you drive again.

Eco-mode is monitored by timing how long certain consumers are left on for with the engine off, it has nothing to do with the condition of the battery.

Had you left the radio on perhaps?
I often leave my car with the CD player running and it goes into economy mode after 45 minutes.
