Possible problems: 1.  Used or rebuilt alternator is also bad. 2.  Improper installation.  Wires not reconnected to the alternator. 3.  Open wire on wire harness leading to the alternator. 4.  Improper belt adjustment.  The belt could be too loose. 
If this is not helpful please provide more information and symptoms.  Answer questions like:  Does your car start? Can you jump start and drive the car long distances?  After jump starting the car, is the battery light still on?  Did you have someone check the new battery to ensure it is a good one?  Are you competent enough to do simple repairs such a battery and alternator replacement?  Answering some of these questions may result in a more helpful answer to your problem.

I have replaced the altinator and battery in my '99 Maxima. The altinator is still not charging the battery.

Is there B+ voltage at the heavier wire on the back of the alternator ? . There should be B+ voltage at two more wire's connected to the alternator . What's the charge gauge showing ?

What model and make is your truck?
Older vehicles differ widely from later ones. Is the regulator separate from the alternator? If so, you might need to replace the regulator.
On some vehicles, the regulator was booted by the indicator lamp on the dash. If the light does not work (blown), the alternator does not charge.

1998 Deville info system is saying battery is not charging

Check for the terminals for the battery and the alternator first. The alternator may not also be delivering current properly. Check the belt drives. Other than that it may be a bad alternator.

My 2002 jeep wrangler check gauges light came onand the battery gauge is below the left dot on the gauge. does that mean i have to replace the battery?

With the jeep running put a volt meter on the battery and it should be reading above 13 volts if not replace the altinator it isn't charging.You can check the fuse for the altinator first if not charging but most likely the altinator is bad.

1991 Dodge 4x4 truck altinator will not charge, new altinator, all fuses are good and serkets. Altinator will not charge.

Change voltage regulator. Does the battery take a charge from a charger? If not, replace battery. If it does, then regulator is faulty. If still nothing, return alternator to place of purchase, and have it checked.

You dont go to a parts store for charging system diagnosis. take it to a qualified repair shop . Those guys are lucky if they can get wiper blades on.
