    New battery.. now light is on?

    I just installed a new Die Hard battery in my 87 accord LX-i. But now the battery light is always on. The car runs fine, and the battery is working just great... so any ideas why the light is on?
    I like to think of my car as a sleeper. Sometimes it seems like it is sleeping.

    How long have you had the battery? Maybe your alternator is acting up?

    check the output voltage of teh battery at idle should be 14.5 V if it's giving 12 V or less so it's you alternator ! could be a slipping belt !

    I've had the battery 2 days now. No slipping belts, and the output voltage is good. I still have no idea... Maybe I'll just put a piece of tape over the light.
