Re: 93 Accord battery light question
 

The battery icon on this warning light misleads. It's
actually a warning light for the alternator/charging system.
Like Bob said, the first suspect is the alternator brushes.
Has this car ever had the brushes or the whole alternator
replaced?

More info appears at

down to the five quick checks (one-third of the way down)
you can do to help narrow down the problem.
