Red battery light still illuminated after alternator change

[timthetinyhorse]

Red battery light came on on my 2011 1.2 SE on Sunday night, checked charge and when turned off the battery tested at 12.34v and when running it was at 11.83v.

Alternator was removed and reconditioned and fitted again this morning, when running its now at 14.2v however the red battery light is still on?

Has anyone else seen this issue?

@greenv8s that's sounding a little out of my skill zone......

Just been back to the car in the hope that it had forgotten it had an issue, started it up and the battery light was not illuminated once the car was running, left it for a few mins and it came on, check the battery voltage and it was sat at 14.54 so exactly where it should be, checked with the car turned off and it's at 12.90 so again all appears correct, what I'm trying to get my head around is if the car is ok to drive or if the battery is going to fail at some point.

Cheers
