It typically indicates that the alternator has failed and is no longer charging the battery. Once that happens, the battery will slowly discharge and the vehicle will no longer start.

The battery is simply an electrical storage device and if the alternator is unable to replace the electrical energy used LAST time the vehicle started, the battery will discharge.

Automotive batteries are not designed for "deep discharge", meaning that if you allow your battery to discharge too much you are causing harm.

Once the warning light comes on it would be wise for you to take care of the problem as soon as possible.
