Generator light on

The generator light came on, started checking all the the things I thought might cause a problem. I found that the posts on the battery on the right were just black & hard on the post and in the cable. Hard to get off, But cleaned all posts the cables. As I look back I think I have been using one battery, for I don't know how long, any way the GEN light is still on. Did I cook something by only using one battery? It's a 96 2500 SLT 4x4 (made in Mexico,on the door post). Help, Fair week coming up and I need the blame thing not hooked to a battery charger.
