It means there's a problem with the charging system....but you knew that.
The problem can be as minor as corroded battery terminals or as expensive as a faulty alternator. Between those extremes could be a broken drive belt or even a wire that a creature has chewed through.
After cleaning the battery terminals if the light is still on inspect the rest of the system. As long as the problem isn't a broken drive belt (which will be obvious) you'll want to remove the alternator and take it to an auto supply store to be tested or have the car transported to a mechanic you trust.
