Hey guys battery light while driving and I knew I needed to replace the battery so I did but the battery light is still on and the meter is below the half mark. Serpentine belt is good and the alternator is about 4 years old. Any suggestions? It’s my daily driver with my kids so kinda need to resolve the issue. Thanks in advance.

You need to have the charging system thoroughly checked out
