I have tested the battery and alternator,they are both good. The battery light is still on, it also seems as if it cant hold a charge. After running for a short time its as if the battery goes dead and will shut down. What is the next items i should check?

Check fuseable link between alternator and battery. If it is bad, the battery will not get charged.
