Double check all connections are clean & tight. You need to get a voltmeter and have the voltage tested at battery with engine off & running. Drive it to the Napa shop you bought the alternator from if necessary, they should perform test free of charge, as the possibility of a faulty one is not out of the question, provided all is connected properly. Did you check that a main fuse for alternator wasn't blown in Uunderhood power distribution box?

you have a battery power drain.  Remove one fuse at a time until you find which circuit it's in.  This will take a while but it will find the problem and it's free.

SOURCE: Charging problem.. Wont charge battery

The instructions for installing a new alternator usually read to fully charge the battery (12.3 - 12.8 volt range). Otherwise, the alternator will be damaged when it initializes. I have seen some extreme damage result from installing a new alternator with a low-charge battery. The torque required to turn an alternator when damaged in this scenario is unbelieveable!

SOURCE: squealing losing power not chargeing batter changed alternator

Alternator belt squeal? The alternator meets the demands of the battery,or tries its best. If alt. is loading down it's more than likely due to high output. High output could be due to heavy loading of battery or the battery itselfis demanding too much.
Charge rate should be 23.6 to 14.2 volts. at 12v the alternator is pouring out some major amps and won't last very long. Have your battery tested and chk the fluid levels. Cable connections clean and tight? Any off road lighting added? It's not the alternator, YET!

There is an electrical problem. Get someone to scan the vehicle.

You might have to replace the alternator and the battery.

1994 BMW Series 5, battery loses charge slowly

if you have a volt meter, check the voltage at the battery before you start the engine and after the engine is running, before could be 11.5v after should be 13.5 or higher but no higher than 14.5, this will test the altenator, check the belt by pressing on the middle of the belt between the two pulleys the belt deflection should not be more than 1/2", if it is tighten and retest altenator

Toyota Highlander, the batttery takes a charge and the car will run, After it sits idle for 2-3 days the battery loses it's charge. I have checked and none of the lights are on. Any suggestions on what I...

the battery could be failing... quick way to find out is if you are not using it for a few days is to unhook the battery... when you want to start it see if it starts... if not the battery is failing... also you could hook a multimeter between the positive battery terminal and the unplugged battery terminal... there should be a minisule draw on the battery for the radio but nothing more
