It means you have a charging system problem.
It could be anything from a loose belt, a poor connection at the alternator, a defective alternator or voltage regulator. Also a poor ground where the regulator is mounted can give the same problem. Don't know how handy you are so can't suggest addl steps other than have someone check it out for you.
