Battery Light Flickering?

Just got onto the highway, switch to middle lane and begin to accelerate to switch to the left lane. When I accelerate I hear two knocks and bam the battery light turns on and starts flickering. Somehow made it to school 27 miles away. Can't tell what the issue is gonna do some test but what do you guys think? Don't think it's alternator or battery because they're pretty new since I changed them both in late November

Did the radio or anything else electronic cut out? Sounds like the battery either isn’t connected or crapped itself

Re: Battery Light Flickering?

Check over the entire charging system.
I'm guessing that you didn't buy a new OEM altternator
