Default Why getting message "Check Charge System"

I have a 2013 Accord LX and I started getting a message from the maintenance minder system saying "Check Charge System" I had the system checked and the guy said both the battery and alternator were good. If I push the re-set button it goes away but comes back when car is started again. Any ideas what could be wrong? Last Tuesday I drove the car and stopped and restarted several times and the message didn't appear, I thought maybe it fixed itself, then Wednesday on the way to work it came up again.

The "Check Charge System" message usually points to an issue with the battery, alternator, or wiring. Since both the battery and alternator tested good, check the battery terminals and grounds for corrosion or loose connections. Also, inspect the alternator belt for wear and ensure it's properly tensioned. A failing voltage regulator or intermittent wiring issue could also be causing the warning. If the problem persists, have a shop scan for trouble codes and check for ECU software updates. If your battery is older (3+ years), it may still be worth replacing as a precaution.

Your issue with check charge system has not been resolved other wise the light would have reset itself. Something is still wrong,it could verywell be the battery.
