Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery. You may also have a battery drain (something that is staying on and killing the battery)

Why is your 93 saburban shaking and the battery keeps dying?
Sounds like the alternator is not charging the battery up / WORKING check charging system. Charge battery to 12.8 volts and then start engine and hook volt meter to battery and it should read 13.8 to 14.3 volts. If it don't then replace alternator. Also need to make sure the alternator belt is tight.

1999 Chevy Lumina Battery keeps dying?
If the batery keeps dying then it is one of three things, either the battery is bad or has a bad contact (clean the wires), or the alternator is bad. The Battery is easy to check at any AutoZone or auto parts store, they will normally check it for free. Make sure you clean the connection wires while your at it. or you could get a charger and set it for tricle (2a) charge over night. If the car runs a few days and the battery dyes again, its most likely the alternator.
