Default My battery light came on

The last time it came on was about three years ago, and the battery drained and I had to change the alternator. Bought a new OEM one.


Last week the battery light came on again, and the battery started draining again, it was at 15 volts and now it is at 10 and going down

Is it possible that the alternator is gone again? Why else should the battery light be on?

Thanks
