Check the water level in your battery.  You might want to hook the
battery up to a trickle charger to boost it to a full charge.  10
minutes at a time won't charge the battery much, especially at idle.

My light glow dimly at idle when the battery is in the 12V range (having
sat for several weeks).  At 2000rpm the light goes out.  After driving
for 20+ minutes, the light no longer glows at idle.  When the car is
used weekly, the battery stays in the 13V range and the light does not
come on.
