The battery light indicates the the battery is'nt being charged by the altenator. This can happen if the fan belts are bad or slipping or even missing. The belt can look good and be bad. A tight belt can still slip if it's worn out. The altenator can be worn out too. If that's all that's wrong with it you can wrap on it with it running and if might take off working again. ( You;ll hear the motor slow a little as the load of the altenator s load pulls the engine). The light will also gto out if it starts chargeing again. If it does start charging you'll still need the replace the alrtenator with a good used or rewbuilt unit as it's on it's last legs if wrapping on it get it to work.. Of course other car repairs like a water pump or fan belts can cause problems too and need to be looked into including making sure the electrical conections are all pluged in and tight. Most auto parts stores can cheak your battery and altanator right in front of the stare and a bad battery can cause all the problems you describe.
