Battery?

Thought that light had something to do with charging system.

Try testing terminals and alternator for power.

i'm pretty sure the lightening bolt on the dash is a "Drive by wire" issue. Probably something with your throttle (pedal, throttle body, wiring, sensors)
Your best bet is to have the check engine light codes read and go from there. You can do it yourself by turning the key on/off three times and they'll show up on the odometer.
