Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alt. You may also have a battery drain (something that is staying on and killing the battery)

The battery is not charging, probably because the alternator has no output. Exchange alternators are readily available but not cheap. Check alternator belt tension. Remove, inspect and replace alternator carbon brush pack as necessary. After that, if still not charging, swop out the regulator.
