means your battery isn't being charged by the alternator. What originally seemed like a flat battery being the problem, would more than likely be the alternator At Fault, which will drain the battery, not keep it charging on the move, hence, battery light displayed on your dash.

The most probable cause is a bad connection somewhere in the alternator > battery circuit. Check if the alternator is operational. Clean all contacts with a steel brush.

Why is your Toyota sequoia battery keeps losing power?
It is more than likely a dead cell in the battery. If this is the case the battery must be replaced. It can also be that a light on the vehicle somewhere is on pulling power from the battery. Can be under hood light, trunk light, glovebox light, courtesy light, or even the brake lights. Can also be that you have a relay that is stuck closed. This can be a Power Seat rely, power window relay, or any other relay vehicle.

Why does your battery drain on your 1976 Cadillac deville?
A battery that runs down overnight is normally caused by a dead cell in that battery. The only fix is to replace the battery. It can also be caused by any light that is left on, on the vehicle. Dome light, under hood light, trunk light, glovebox light, or even brake lights that our on due to a sticking brake light switch. A relay that is sticking can also cause this. Disconnect the negative battery cable and let the vehicle sit overnight. If the battery is still charged the next morning then you know the battery is good. If the battery is dead then you know the battery has a dead cell and must be replaced.

Why does the battery light on a 2002 Civic LX come on when started goes out at exactly 4000RPMs and then will come back on at 2500 RPM even after the battery was replaced?
This is not a battery problem. Your charging system, the alternator, is not putting out enough juice to charge the battery until you reach 4000 rpm. Have the alternator and charging system checked.

A gearbox warning light that stays on even when the fluid light stays on may mean that there is something more serious going on with your car. Your Fiat should be taken to a mechanic to get checked.
How often does a car battery have to be replaced?
Batteries should be replaced about every 3 to 5 years, some can even last seven. However, it is obvious that if the battery dies (with no ability to "jump"), is corroted, or gets a dead cell in it then it should be replaced.
