when you turn the key, it's 'nice charged battery at one end, dead alternator at the other end' so the light comes on because of a diode in the instrument cluster plastic cicuit on the back.
when the engine fires up and the exciter circuit starts the alternator, the light goes out because the alternator is putting out more than the battery.
somebody correct me if I'm wrong
