Hello. I was driving this evening and suddenly my battery indicator light came on. The only symptoms (besides the light :)) I noticed was that my turn signals would flash slowly and the dashboard lights were a little dim. My headlights appeared to be fully bright and didn't even dim at an idle. When I arrived home, I turned off the car and it restarted easily.
Does anyone know how to easily determine what would be causing the light to come on? I.e., is this typically a battery, alternator, voltage regulator, or something else?
Thanks in advance!

battery light means the alternator is not properly charging. go to auto zone/advance, and they'll test it for you for free to tell you exactly whats wrong
