Default 93 gs300 battery not charging

Ok so just yesterday I was driving my car it was warm outside so I turned the ac on. Right after I turned on the ac the battery light came on. I drove it home and noticed that the battery was low . I read the manual it says that the battery light means that it is not charging. What could it be?

It mite be your alternator not charging you battery, possibly bad alternator, or you u need a new battery cuz your current one is failing to charge due to not having enough voltage to power the 12v system
check both your battery and your alternator in other words do a voltage test

Its your alternator...

My car did the same.... you can test it this way..

Turn the car on; while the car is on, remove the negative connector from the battery.

If the car stays on, the battery is bad. If the car turns off right away, its most likely your alternator.
