What causes a battery warning lite to flicker on after the car is shut off this is in a ford focus 04-the- light stays off when the car is running and car appears to be charging and running normal?

From your description it sounds as if the warning light is operating correctly. When the engine is running the battery is being charged and the electrical needs of the vehicle are being fully met by the alternator's output and the battery is not expending stored power. When you turn the engine off the alternator stops running and anything in the vehicle that requires electircal power is suddenly dependent upon the battery to supply it. Thus, the battery begins discharging power, which triggers the warning light indicating that the battery is being discharged.
