The battery light can stay on for a couple of different reasons. Assuming your new battery is good (which may not be true and should be checked if all else fails) then most likely problem would be the alternator (generator in old Beetles). The light will stay on if the charging system is malfunctioning or the batteryhas completely failed, a bad battery itself may not light the light.If you don't have any test equipment then a professionals help will be required.
