Default battery

would the only reason the battery light come on is when the battery is bad? my light comes on when driving but then goes away then comes back on then goes away, any ideas? thanks

The battery light comes on if there isn't enough output from the alternator.

What he said. Disconnect the battery with the car running, if it dies, the alternator ain't working.
