Battery check on was created by charlanga

Hi guys,

This morning while driving to my job, the battery check light turned on, the battery is almost new(not even 3 months), all cables all right, could it be the alternator?
Some friends already suggested to check the battery's voltage.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You have checked the drive belt?

If the alternator fails, and the little red light glows faster as the engine speed increases, keep the revs down, or the bulb will blow.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
