this sounds like a bad alternator/voltage regulator problem. not sure if Hyundai uses a computer control regulator so you might be looking at a computer replacement. have it check out at a shop so your not throwing parts at it that are not needed.

The engine ID number is above the trans, printed on the block, below the head. There may be a emission decal under the hood showing a J1 or J2, if you call the Hyundai Parts dept with your VIN number they should be able to tell you.

Go to www.hmaservice.com and register your vehicle by VIN #.. you'll then have access to wiring diagrams, shop manuals, service bulletins, illustrations, etc.
