Default weird battery light problem

Alright so about 2 months ago my alternator went out and got a new one and also a new battery. About 2 weeks ago my battery light started to flicker on and off so I thought my alternator was bad again, went and got it checked and they said my battery was junk so I got a new one, left the parts store and not even a mile down the road it started flickering on and off again. So I went home and put the battery on the battery charger and then went to get everything checked again and everything came out good. I don't know why its flickering on and off, any suggestions on what it could be?

What kind of car is this?
I have this problem with my Honda civic LX. Put a re-manufactured alternator in, and now at idle (without any accessories on) the battery light flickers on and off! The battery is new as well! This doesnt cause any problems for my car other then the annoying light. I believe the reman alt doesnt put out the correct amount of power on its 'low setting'. Because when I put the headlights on or the AC on, the flickering light will stop.

It's a 95 integra ls. The alternator is brand new not reman... And the light flickers with the lights on, blower and just about everything else and also flickers when nothing is on while I'm driving. I think it might be a bad ground but dont know where all the main ones are. I also put new terminals
on and still flickers

sounds like a bad/lose ground. the main 3 are batt to chasiss, valve cover to frame and one underneath the batt tray. check,clean,tighten and if needed sand down to the frame metal(had to do that when I got a bad ELD ground issue).
