Is it recommened to drive with the battery light on

[chefwong]

CEO just got home and I checked the battery - it's full.
As well, I've dropped the trickle charger on it at 8 AMPS and it detected the battery was full and dumped to trickle charge..


Planning to bring it to the shop to check it out. She drove it with as minimal electrical load as possible, no lights, radio, etc. A good 20 miles and go figure, it seems normal just short of the light. However, she did mentioned it did ~strain~ for a extra sec when starting.

So whaddya guys think . Is it the battery or the alt. I plan to give her a test drive tonight to see if the battery light disappears...

If there is still a light, should I play it safe and have her towed.
Or it's just fine to drive it if the alt seems to be charging the battery...
