battery warning light question...

I had the battery icon come at startup and it went away after I turned off the engine and started back up. No decrease in voltage on my 30 mile drive back home. Is this a sign of a bad alternator or a bad battery?
TIA

Usually an alternator.

Check your alternator and battery wire connections and make sure they're tight.

I put on a new alt and the light came on for 30 seconds a week later never to show again.
