put my car of the road in january and made sure i turned it over at least once a week,

but came to put it back on the road last week and it needed a jump start,

noticed after i jumped it that the battery light was staying on so gave the battery a good slow charge

replaced the battery but the light stays on this wasnt on before i put it of the road

Does it fade when reving, flicker at all?

Alternator?

Battery could be dead & not getting a charge?

Earth lead corroded gunged up?

If you drive into a garage they will test the battery so you can rule it out for free before random part swapping.

Winter months can easily kill of a used battery & lets face it we had a stonking cold start to 2010.

Have you driven it around to see if the light goes out?

the wee wire that come from the al for the light (sure its called an excite wire or something).

 

if theres any break in that the light will be on constantly.
