Default 2012 civic, check charging system

hey guys, my battery light keeps coming on and I cannot for the life of me figure it out.
the alternator, battery, and serpentine belt are all new, and the starter tests good. I replaced a heavily corroded positive terminal and it's still coming on. the light comes on randomly and will only stay on for a few minutes at a time before going off. the longest its ever stayed on was this morning for 25 minutes but it's never done that before, usually only 2-3 minutes.

I am at such a loss, getting very tired of spending money/time/effort on this. I'm going to replace the negative terminal next and check out the grounding straps. any advice is helpful, thanks yall

If you are not going to test I suggest replacing the cables to the starter and the ground. They may be having resistance issues. You could test them if you had a meter.
