Being in the auto electric business for 30 plus years, I have a lot of customers who get confused when it comes to the engine indicators on the dash of their cars and trucks. When I say confused, I mean this, “Many vehicles have a little picture of a battery that must light up when the key is on, and go out when you start the engine”.
If it doesn’t go out, and remains on after starting the vehicle, you have a Charging System Problem, not a problem with the battery.
That light has nothing to do with the battery. When they see that “Battery Light” they automatically assume they need a battery. If you have an owners manual, check it. It will tell you what that little warning light really means, you have a charging system problem.
The light is red for a reason, all things red mean STOP.
