Your alternator produces the electrical charge that is stored in your car’s battery.
With that in mind, you should focus on finding somewhere safe to stop your car and call your local garage or breakdown service to come and recover your vehicle. You could lose power steering, making your car harder to control, followed by complete power loss, at any time and this has the potential to cause an accident. If you’re a long way from home, or you don’t know where your nearest garage is, then your safety and that of your passengers and other road users is paramount. You then have two choices and they depend really on where you are when the battery light stays on.
If it is safe to drive without your headlights and you can see clearly, turn them off as well to conserve power. That means turning off the stereo, air conditioning, heated seats and anything you may be charging in the car. The first thing you should do is turn off any electrical systems in your car that you don’t need. What should you do if the battery warning light comes on? That means that your car is only running on battery power that will eventually run out, bringing your car to a halt. If your battery warning light comes on whilst you’re driving, it means that your battery is no longer being charged by the alternator and is running only on its own charge.
