[QUOTE="hispls, post: 7814807, member: 614752"] This is very much what I'm thinking. Alternator not regulating properly. Possibly due to bad/old connection, possibly just a part failing. I would suggest if your alternator was behaving badly you may have damaged your battery and it would be well worth having it load tested before you hook it up to a new alternator. Most high output alternators are basically remanufactured...just with better and more robust parts than OEM. They're as good as the person who builds them, many will be as good as or better than OEM, some will be defective from the factory, though I'm sure a percentage of OEM ones will be DOA or prone to random early failure as well.
