try unhooking the alt from the battery and start it up and use a meter to
test the alt to ground
if you see the 14.5 that would mean your batt is shorted internally.

[Chevelle-List] Alternator not charging??

[Dan McIntosh]

Fellas, 
 
I just installed a new 1 wire alternator on my 
car.
But here's the thing... when the car is running, 
the voltage at the battery doesn't increase, its as if the alt. is not 
charging..
it should jump to 14.5 at the battery, but all I 
get is whatever voltage the battery was at before I started the 
car..
This is the same reason I replaced the old 3 wire 
alt, because of a no charge condition..
 
Could the battery be the real problem here?? any 
good test you fellas know of?? Thanks.
