Why does battery light come on while driving occasionally. The car seems to have hiccups?

If the battery light comes it could mean your alternator is not putting out enough volts to keep the battery charged. I would take it and get the charging system tested, they usually do it for free at AUtozone. If your handy with a voltage meter and know the wires to touch you can see what your alternator is putting out. But you won't be able to put a draw on the system the way they can at AZ. I suggest you take it there before you are left sitting stranded at night in the dark. That's not a good thing.
