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.

Your alternator is not keeping the battery charged.
Why did your 1995 Subaru drain the battery?
Depends on if it drained while you were driving or ran down while it was parked overnight. If the battery runs down while you're driving the vehicle then more than likely the alternator is defective. If the battery drains while the vehicle is parked then the problem is either a dead cell in the battery or a light is on somewhere on the vehicle. Could be a under hood light, trunk, glovebox, dome, or even the brake lights. It can also be a relay that is stuck.
