If the battery light comes it could mean your alternator is not putting out enough volts to keep the battery charged. I would take it and get the charging system tested, they usually do it for free at AUtozone. If your handy with a voltage meter and know the wires to touch you can see what your alternator is putting out. But you won't be able to put a draw on the system the way they can at AZ. I suggest you take it there before you are left sitting stranded at night in the dark. That's not a good thing.
