My battery light came on

Hi, my name is Devin. I am an auto repair expert with the Car Genius team here at RepairPal. So sorry to hear you're having trouble with your vehicle. When the battery light comes on and the car won't accelerate, it's often a sign of a charging system problem. This usually indicates an issue with the alternator or the battery. Without sufficient voltage and amperage, vehicle systems can not operate as designed. First, check the battery connections to ensure they are clean and tight. Then, test the charging system components. If you are not comfortable doing this, I recommend taking the vehicle to a trusted repair shop to have the issue diagnosed. If you need more advice, have any other questions about your vehicle, or would like to get connected to a RepairPal Certified shop near you, we have you covered. Give us a call at 877-913-1554, and we will happily help you out!
