my battery light on my cluster keeps lighting up..anyone know whats wrong???

 

Your alternator isn't putting out enough volts. It's probably time for a new one.

 

yea check the alternator cause mine just about ready to go out.

 

could this be why my car idles at like 400 when its cold cuz my alt. isnt chargeing enough to keep it running

not really. thats probably another problem.

to the ones with the "battery" light coming on, its not a "battery" light, per se (god i hate that term), but its called the "charge warning light" and it does NOT indicate the condition of the battery, but simply the voltage regulator, which is integral to the alternator. so if the charge warning light comes on, youve got a problem with your alternator/voltage regulator. not your battery.
