Battery warning light

[Hardstylin]

So I've had a search around and read a few other threads, the battery warning light is on in my VP, battery died on me yesterday, put a fully charged one in, lasted roughly 20 minutes then died again, I'm assuming from the other threads I looked at that it's the alternator/regulator/alternator brushes? What will need to be replaced?

If anyone can shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated!

Hey on the back of the alternator there is a littleish black box with two flat head screw head undo them and replace it that is your voltage regulator.
thats the most comon prob,

Well I removed the regulator and took it to repco, they said it looked gone to them because the prong thingys wern't springing back, I hope it is that because they're $70ish to replace.
