your gauge only measures volts. not amps. when alternators get tired sometimes they wont produce enough amps to run the car. your computer might see this where the gauge still says 12-14 volts. basicly your running off the battery. if that doesnt work then check battery for poor cell. last call put tape over the light,lol. good luck

Your vehicle's charging system is not working. It is running only off the battery power. You need to have the charging system tested to determine what is at fault.

A battery that is only at 50% is not a good battery unless it just needs charging.
Do Not Overcharge A Battery?
When you overcharge the battery on your laptop computer, it can wear out more quickly. As soon as the computer says that you are using reserve battery power, you need to plug it in. When the charging indicator light turns from orange to green, though, you have to unplug it. This means that the battery is full. You do not want to keep sending electricity into it after it is full. Unplugging it will extend its life.
Can you drive your BMW 335 if the battery light is on and it says charging malfunction?
Driving a Vehicle with a Charging System Warning Light IlluminatedIF there is enough current left in the battery to start the vehicle, AND properly supply the ignition system, then yes, it is possible to drive the vehicle. But, doing so could cause further damage to the charging system, and when the battery power level goes low enough, the ignition system could shut down and you will be stranded.Therefore, I strongly recommend NOT driving the vehicle until you have had the charging system checked out and properly repaired. This is especially true if it is dark and you will need to use the headlights, tail lights, and marker lights, all of which draw a lot of current and will acclerate "draining" of the battery!
