What happens what the battery light come on while driving your car?
It usually means that your alternator (or generator) is not charging the battery. At this point you need to check system voltage with a voltmeter when the engine is running. You should see at least 13.5 to 14.5 volts. If it is less than that, it is not charging. You can also have the charging checked at a repair shop if you don't have a voltmeter.

Either check and refill the battery with electrolyte (distilled water) or buy a new one. Also, your alternator could be dying. Check that with a test light or a voltmeter.
