Since owning battery light has been flashing and staying on from time to time, I had the alternator overhauled yesterday after putting it in battery light and brake warning light still on drove home and lost all power while driving home with headlights on, I put another battery in it that I had on charge and drove it home but both lights are still on.

Just Thought m8, Check the alternator`s regulator its located on the back of the Alternator, it might be nacked! When thay go on ya, Thay sometimes drop voltage or over charge too! Causing batttery too drop cells and die! So might want too check that out m8 :).
