Why does your battery light comes on in my 1999 Chevy caviler when stepping on the gas?

Anytime the battery light comes on there is usually a charging problem. Check the voltage output of the alternator with a digital multimeter at the alternator & battery (should be 13-14 volts) when running. Get battery tested to be sure it has enought cold cranking amps (spec is usually on battery label). Make sure the battery is tested properly, side post batteries are notorious for failing if they are tested through the bolts due to bad connections & corrosion. Could also be a loose connection that is affected by the motion of the car when you step on the gas.
