Why is the battery light on in your 2001 Kia Optima?

Trufully, my battery just died yesterday, and the battery light did not come on, the only time it comes on is when the alt isn't charging. I've replaced 2 batteries and 4 alts in my 01 optima!! Although it is a battery icon, what it really means 99 times out of 100 is that the battery is not being charged and although it could indicate a battery that is tired and due for renewal (I always get a new one every 3 years; 2 years if it's the original thing the car comes with) it usually indicates a fault with the alternator which has, more than likely, worn out. 2001 might still be under warranty I suppose.

Remove the positive terminal on the battery for 20-30 minutes and then replace the terminal on the battery and tighten the bolt very well. Also, for battery acid build-up on the terminals, pour several cups of boiling water over the battery terminals.
