If you're battery light comes up, it might be that your alternator is failed. You would then have 20 minutes or so worth of electrical lifetime. Hurry to a workshop, or check the charging voltage:
Turn the key to position 1
Set the instrument cluster to the odometer menu
Press the reset button briefly 3 times
The voltage will be displayed
Start the engine
Make sure you read 13.0V or plus. If you do, then the alternator is fine. If you're reading below 12V, then you have minutes worth of driving time since you're running on the battery.
