About a week ago my battery light came on. I took it in and had the batter/alternator tested. The battery showed bad so I bought a new one. Later that same day the battery light came on again and then disappeared. It comes and goes periodically but it seems to only come on at speeds <60mph. Could it be a faulty sensor? Is it still getting used to the new battery? Or is my alternator going out slowly?

Check the belt tension, battery/alternator cable/wiring connections if okay get the alternator load tested again
