The most probable cause is a bad connection somewhere in the alternator > battery circuit. Check if the alternator is operational. Clean all contacts with a steel brush.

What does it mean if your car battery light stays on even after you replaced it?
means your battery isn't being charged by the alternator. What originally seemed like a flat battery being the problem, would more than likely be the alternator at fault, which will drain the battery, not keep it charging on the move, hence, battery light displayed on your dash.
