The battery light being on indicates that the charging system is not working and that is what needs to be tested to confirm what the cause is. The light issues are likely just the battery going dead.

Yes, have the charging system tested (while the light is on) as I already advised.The light is telling you that it's not charging. Sounds like an intermittent problem they can be a little more difficult to find
