What does the red battery dash light mean on an Acura RSX?

The battery light in my Acura RSX dash came on while I was driving today, but my car was still running. I have only experienced a battery light come on when the battery was dead, but that’s obviously not the case here. What does the red battery dash light mean on an Acura RSX?

Most people think of a battery light indicator in terms of a
dead battery
, which many of us have experienced. Since your
Acura RSX’s
dash light came on while you were driving, it is safe to say that a dead battery is not the reason.
Some other reasons the battery symbol is coming on in your
Acura
RSX dash lights are:
  • A bad battery cable
  • Alternator or voltage regulator issues
  • A wiring issue
  • Damaged battery components
Taking your car to a certified mechanic will give you a more definite answer as to why your red battery light keeps turning on. Hopefully, it’s not an expensive repair. If it does end up being costly, or you’re just looking to save money on car expenses elsewhere, use
