it isn't only from a dead stop. once in rush hour traffic i was moving too slow for third gear that I was in. it almost died till I pushed in on the clutch. then the lights flashed and the bat. light stayed on. it seems like the alt. stops charging the battery unless you turn off the ignition then it re-sets and all is well.
