Default S70 Generator warning light

I own a 1998 S70 and for last few months my generator warning light has come on. For a little while the warning would come on and then it would go off. Now it stays on a lot longer and I notice the light comes on when I'm accelerating.

My husband thinks its the charger or battery - easy fix. I think its something more serious, any comments? Has anyone else experienced this problem? and did you fix it?

Default RE: S70 Generator warning light

Have you had the charging system checked?Most Auto Zones and parts stores like that will check the charging system free of charge.They will hook a machine up to your car called a vat45 and it will check the charging system and the battery.Most of the time when the light comes on the alternator is bad.
