Re: Battery Charge Light
So while the engine is cold and the charge light is on, is the battery voltage 13.8 or 14.5 ?

Re: Battery Charge Light
Measure at the alternator to get a better understanding if the alternator is charging.
It sounds like either your alternator drive belt is slipping until the engine reaches temp or there is a bad connection in the wiring from the alternator which comes good when things warm up under the bonnet. Might also be a bad diode plate in the alternator with a faulty solder joint which comes good with some heat.
My suggestion is to get an auto electrician to check out the alternator and wiring for breaks.

Re: Battery Charge Light
Southern Cross Auto Repairs in mascot do alternator repairs and they are close to you.
Maybe take it in and have a chat to them to see if it is repairable before having an autoelectrician just replace it with a new one which would be more expensive.
