Post Read your POH

Directly from the POH:

"The ALT NOT CHARGING lights will normally stay out during idling and taxi operations. Occasionally a light may come on when electrical loads are at a minimum and one engine is operating at a much lower RPM than the other. If one light constantly comes on during idle or taxi with equal engine RPM, or during cruise, the voltage differential between the voltage regulators is too great and the regulators should be adjusted."

One of the last steps in my 400-Series voltage regulator upgrade installation is to adjust the new regulators to the same voltage output at 1600 rpm with a load on the electrical system. This, along with the new paralleling circuit, prevents the lights from coming on at any time unless there is truly a fault in the system.

Also, the trigger voltages for the high output and low output warning lights are fully adjustable. If all you have is the OEM amp gauge, get a cigar lighter digital voltage gauge so you can watch the actual voltage in real time. Here's one at Amazon that displays up to 30 volts and provides two USB power outlets: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01N00I4...XBN6VJS7V3F5P1 If you don't like that one, there are many other styles available.
