You didn't say what's different about the two generators. Is one new and one is rebuilt? Do they have two different current ratings?

For future reference, the battery light means the battery is not being recharged by the generator, not that the battery is bad. You can do a simple, quick voltage test at the battery while the engine is running to verify that.
