Battery Warning light

I've got a '03 986 S. The battery warning light came on while driving the car home yesterday. Nothing seemed amiss and all the electronics continued to work. I just had the 60k service done and an AOS replacement. Does anyone know if anything from that service, if not been properly refastened could wiggled loose and cause the warning light, or is it coincidental (story of my life with this car) and am I now looking at something more painful ($$).

You guys have helped me out before, looking for some advice.

Load test your battery and check the specific gravity of each cell.

Also check the charging voltage at the battery with the engine idling - should be in the 13-14 volt range.

Thanks Loren. Car will no longer run. Had it idling and a series of warning lights fired off sequentially after the battery light and then the car shut down. It was flatbedded to the mechanic this morning, initial thoughts are the alternator are shot, but I'll get the official dianostic later. Will post the results.
