Does the car start? If so, with the engine running check the voltage at the battery connections. If the voltage reading is 12 volts or lower your alternator is not working. If this is the case your car has been running off the battery voltage draining the battery, when battery voltage is low your light will illuminate.
You should see about 13-14 volts at the battery with the engine running and the alternator operating normally.

This light points to the alternator not providing enough voltage to keep the battery charged. most alternators should have 13.5 to 14.5 volts output. continuing to drive the vehicle like this will cause the battery to go dead. have your alternator tested on the caravan by your local dealer,repair shop or some auto parts stores can do it. a remanufactured alternator will cost around $100 to $200 plus diagnosis and installation.

2011 Toyota Avensis Strata Diesel Battery Light staying on.What causes this?

Battery light is (more accurately) also named charging light or generator light.
One side of the light is connected to the battery via the ignition switch and the other is connected to the alternator. When the ignition is switched on, one side of the light is at battery voltage and the other side at 0 volts and so the light illuminates but when the engine starts and the alternator produces a full output both sides of the light is at the same voltage and so no current flows and the light is extinguished.

Assuming there are no wiring or connection problems your alternator isn't producing a charge. Perhaps you didn't need a new battery...

Reset battery light

The battery light is on to warn the driver that the alternator is not charging the battery. If the light is still on you need to check the output of the alternator. It may still not be charging the battery.

Battery light

On this issue i suggest you to get the battery and its connections checked.
Either battery is got weak or the problem is related to loose battery connections.Some times battery connectors gets dirty and cause no connection issue.So disconnect battery terminals,clean them and reconnect and check ,if that is helping.
Also if the battery is got very old,then try with new battery.

Battery light on and break light on

Break light is no joke have the brake system checked for internal and external leaks . If none are found then itspossibly the brake hand / foot switch.

Battery lite could be incorrect battery or alternator is defective or the wiring behind alternator is corroded and lastly voltage regulator may be defective.

Engine light and battery light

No, and a new battery may not cure the battery light being on. A low or no charge condition will turn the red battery light on, a bad battery will not. A low charge condition could have turn the check engine light on. I would have it checked before I would start replacing parts.
