On my stock 03 SVT the battery light will illuminate if I have both the headlights and air conditioning running. If I turn one or the other off when the light comes on within 60 seconds of continuing to run/drive it turns off.

I have no issues starting or running.

A couple of years ago the commonly problematic battery cable was replaced on this car so, to some degree, I don't suspect that as the culprit here.

I've looked here and on FF for examples of my issue and don't find anything this specific.

Any ideas would be appreciated. If there are some voltage readings that would help diagnose this I'm happy to take them.

Where I thought it would be a more involved evaluation I've received advice on FF to check the voltage readings at the battery when this is happening. If the readings are low I assume that will point to the alternator.
