Default Battery light on dashboard

I have an 07 FX4, my dashboard shut down lastnight as I was going home so I left it in a parking lot overnight. This morning I had to battery tested and the alternator checked and both were fine. Then on my way home the battery indicator on the dash would come on for a minute then go off for a minute and it did this fe about 30 minutes until I got home. Does anyone have any clues to what can cause this?

Most likely the alternator going out. Mine also tested fine but then went out a day later. I put a new one in and issue is gone.
