Why would the battery light flash in a 1997 Chevy cavalier?
From what I have found there are a few different reasons.1. Loose connection to the battery.2. Loose or bad serpentine belt.3. Alternator is bad / going bad.4. Your batter is needing replaced.How old is the battery? If the case is that the battery is dead, then you are going to want to check the alternator also. Since it is trying to charge a dead or dieing battery, it is going to put a lot of wear on it and burn out the diodes inside the alternator.I would say check the battery with a digital meter, and see what voltage you are getting with the car NOT running... and then check with it with the car running, this is when the alternator is charging or attempting to charge the battery. With the car running running should be some where around12.4-13.6 +/-
Can you car battery die while you are driving?
If the battery dies with the car running usually the alternator will be able to keep up, but the malfunction indicator will light up. Some models will say something like check gauges.

Is it bad to use a boat battery in a car?
When you say boat battery if you are referring to a Deep Cycle battery as used to power a trolling motor then no, it is not suitable for use in a car. However, if you are referring to a battery in a boat used to start the engine and it is not a Deep Cycle battery it will work just fine in a car as long as it fits the battery holder, can be strapped down, and the battery posts are orientated correctly.
