...you open the hood and look at the alternator and confirm it has at least one belt on the pulley, which usually has two belts.
The reason is that the belt that drives the alternator also drives the water pump. If your "battery" light is on, and it is because the alternator belt(s) have broken, then driving the car will cause it to overheat and may lead to premature wallet emptying.
The alternator usually has two belts on it, both following the same route. This should help you understand how important that belt is.
