Default Battery Light and flickering headlights...

Hey, I have a 2012 f150 5.0 screw fx4, for about a year now when I would go over rough roads or something like that the battery light would come on for a bit then go off, but it was rare... It got worse.. Now the light almost always stays on, and the headlights will flicker... But it is charging ... Always cranks great, and I have a work truck so sometimes it sets for more than a week without bein touched, always cranks strong, I did replace the battery just for the hell of it, I thought maybe the old battery had a bad cell or something, so it has a new battery... But it is driving me crazy and I work so much I don't have time to really get deep into it.. The headlights seem to flicker worse when I'm in the throttle.. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

It acts like an old vehicle does when you don't have a good ground ... But everything looks good...I just figured surely someone out there had this problem before
