My battery light came on a couple weeks ago, so I bought a new battery. This change the light to come on whenever below 2000 RPM. So I changed the alternator. Now the light comes on once I get to 2000 RPM and turn on and stays on. Any suggestions would be awesome.  
Thanks!

Instead of throwing money at it why not take it to a shop and have it checked? There is no way we can see it on the web.

Check for a worn serpentine belt.
