Default Battery dying!?

not sure if this should be here or engine section but you can move it if you'd like.

my problem is that the battery light keeps commin on when lets say im at a stoplight and revs drop under 1k you guys know what it can be?

battery and alternator replaced 6months ago (done exact same time)

what may be part of the cause - i recently replaced the drive belt, timing belt, w pump, etc. (pretty much a basic tuneup). think it can be a loose tensioner?

any help right now would be nice, thanks in advance.

Mine did that for a day... Until the alternator finally stopped altogether.

If this was performed by a shop simply take it back, if not then take your car to AutoZone, PepBoys, Kragen, or one of those places and they'll check your charging system for free

yea i need to get all the wiring and everything checked out to make sure nothins loose or just disconnected.

i hope it ain the alternator cause that things is damn near brand new and i dont wanna have to shell out another 300 for that i'd really just like to get all these damn problems out of the way and having everything running well otherwise i'd rather not boost a motor thats giving me headaches.
