Good posability that your alternator is naffed, it might even be over chaging or you might have a bad earth, the alternator light will come on if the vaultege drops down any where near 11-12volts,
If i was you id run your car by a local garage end get then to do a charge test, they should do it for free, that way it should tell you what it is without spending any money first,

If your on single V Alt then mate sure the earth is good between the Alt and the bracket. They tend to brake down there.
