Battery light comes on

[Frazzums]

I was wondering why my battery light comes on when im punching the gas and im near to red line. It started happening a few days ago, and im a auto btw.

Any ideas.

I do not know the exact answer, but that light is supposed to come on when the battery, or charging system is not producing enough power. It could have something to do with the alternator, and the speed it is spinning at.

either the altenator belt is too loose= tighten it. Or the altenator is going bad . I vote for the altenator being too loose being that you redline and whatnot just make sure its nice and tight

i had this problem once... my altenator was three days old.... turned out to be the new altenator had a bad voltage regulator and was putting out 17 volts... yeah that sucked!

Had the same things happen to my altenator. It was going bad because of a diode. Also check your plug on the back of the alt. Sometimes these come loose and breaks connection. Hope that helps.

I mean its not a ground breaking problem, my car cranks smothly it just bothered me when the revs were high.

mine really didnt affect me either. just when i sat at lights my interior/exterior light would dim. a push on the gas pedal would fix it. But since it was a new alt. I hada warranty and just replaced it.
