Most likely, I'm afraid. The real test is if you're driving along and you lose power and then the car dies and won't start. (A lousy test, getting stranded.) My battery went dead and three different shops told me it was the alternator, but it was really just the battery and my battery light never went on. Batteries last three to seven years, depending on what you buy. On an eight year old car, it's a fair bet your alternator needs replacement.

Use a tester to see if the charging system is working properly. If your model has a separate regulator make sure it is working properly. Make sure that your battery is ok, a battery with an internal short can cause the charging light to stay on. The engine computer is the voltage regulator.
