What does the battery light on the Metro mean?

It normally means that your voltage is below 12v. It could be an indication that your alternator is goin bad or gone. Maybe you'll be lucky and its just a bad battery connection.


If battery in laptop is bad will it prevent it from booting up when plugged?

If you have a bad battery in your laptop it should not prevent it from booting up when plugged in. However, it depends on how long your battery has been bad. When your battery goes bad it can start giving off chemicals. Those chemicals can get into your hard drive. When those chemicals get in your hard drive they ruin your hard drive. That prevents you from booting up from your hard drive. That makes your hard drive worthless. If you do not have good backups, you will spend a lot of money recovering the data from your bad hard drive. You may be able to boot up from a CD ROM or the Internet depending on your computer.
