Sounds like it could be a bad ICP sensor. See if your SCT will pull a trouble code.

Here's a couple of threads out of the 6.0 tech folder sticky at the top of the page that will help:

the batt light might be from the failed starts and batt draining glow plug cycles

granted would it indicate a bad bat if after 4 hrs running that the bats only (KOEO) 12.3v and for some reason 896CCA but the bat is rated for 750CCA

no the batts would need to be way lower ,, you may have the dreaded bad battery cables ? that is a guess however
