Sounds like you damaged the Alternator, and the battery isn't charging. I would pull of the alternator and take it to an auto-parts store that test alternators and have them do a load run on it. Hopefully this helps, because I did the same thing a few years ago..

I would take it to another place then, because the battery light only comes on because of two things. Bad Battery, or bad alternator and 99% of the time its the alternator that pulls the battery light on.
