I'm not concerned about that, he said the alternator would work adequately, but I spent $90 on a new battery last thursday so it should not be struggling to kick over 1 week later, but it might be if the alternator was not charging. Thus I think my wiring is wrong! The charge light is always off but it does come on when I am shutting down the engine or if I have lots of stuff on like lights, heater, indicator, etc
