I've owned 02087 for around 13 months now, and I don't ever recall the battery light working. This is sort of a spin off from this thread:

I took a video of what my car does when I start it:
The battery light never comes on upon start up, and the car seems to run off of just the battery's power until the engine reaches around 2200 to 2500 RPMs. If I don't ever rev the engine, the car slowly loses power because the battery starts to drain, even with the car running. As soon as the engine is revved, the volt gauge reads a steady 13 and the car charges and runs fine until the next time the car is turned off. Then this cycle repeats.
In the other thread, someone mentioned that the alternator may just be getting old, but I'm wondering if this could also have something to do with the battery light never coming on. What do you think?
