If the alternator is working correctly and the battery is fully capable of taking a charge you've obviously got a problem somewhere in between What do you check next?

You would be amazed how much difference new battery cables would make. Often times, a cable will corode inside where you can not see it. But........What is the symptoms. You do not state the problem in your question. I have also seen a starter that works "perfectly" drain a battery overnight. Y-THINK-Y Check the battery cells and Check the wiring, any cuts that may be in contact with the body

Battery light stays on in your Chevy silverado 2005?
test the voltage on the battery first, then on the alternator. If its good then it could just be the diode in the alternator. I would suggest you replace it becuase eventually your alternator will die and the battery will not get charged leaving you stranded somewhere. It is possible to just be a battery but you wont know unless you have the battery tested. check the voltage on the battery and the alternator before you do anything else.
