Should have fixed it yourself. Battery cable, even 1/0 is cheap, ends are cheap, and running them takes about 10 minutes. You got just plain hosed.
Check to see on your car (find a wiring diagram) if there is a fuse for the alternator's voltage regulator. On my Ranger there is a 15A fuse that, if popped, the alternator stops charging the battery.
That's what this sounds like, when you have a fully charged battery is won't trip the battery light but as it drains it will activate the low voltage light. I bought a new alternator, new wiring, new pigtail and never even though to see if the fuse had blown. Ended up costing me $1.40 for a pack of 15A fuses to fix.
