That's not so much a battery light as it is a charge light. I may be that your Altinator/Rectifier if not charging correctly. An easy self test is to start your truck(?) up then disconnect the battery. Turn on the lights on bright and the car radio (reasonable electrical load) If it goes dead then your altinator needs looking into. You can also check for voltate fluctuations with a cheap multi meter from your parts store.
