In addition, does your CEL light come on for a few seconds when you turn ignition to on (not engine running)? (to determine if bulb is blown). And check if Fuse 11 (PCM Keep Alive Memory) is blown or missing (a blown or missing Fuse 11 will not light up a CEL code even though the CEL bulb will light up for a few seconds with ignition to on).

Has NOTHING to do with the battery. You could, technically (though unsafe), remove the battery from a running car and the light wouldn't come on. (though would be VERY deadly if you moved a hot load wire from the alternator to a ground or yourself!) The light is indicating a potentially failing alternator, or the wiring between the alternator and the Battery POSITIVE, or the alternator and chassis ground.

Engine running, voltage should be 14 to 14.5 (voltmeter probes on positive and negative terminals of battery). Chances are your voltage will be much lower than 14 volts.
