Battery light flickers

My alternator recently went out and had it replaced. My battery light has been flickering after i had it replaced. I took it back to the shop, and they tightened the belts saying that was probably the cause of it. and its still doing it. I'm taking it back tomorrow again. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Re: Battery light flickers

Maybe the voltage regulation on the alternator they put on is not as precise as it should be... Do you know if they used an OEM or aftermarket unit?

Re: Battery light flickers

could be a loose connection somewhere. the terminals on the battery or around the alternator or something. i would look to see if anything looks like it is or is coming loose.
