You mean your battery is not being charged,?

That may be your alternator, your battery, or something else.

Is the charging light on on the dashboard?

What DC voltage do you measure across the battery with the car running and with the car not running after sitting overnight?

Have you checked the tightness and cleanliness of the connections at the battery terminals and the connection of the other end of the negative cable to the body of the car?

If you bought that replacement alternator at Autozone or Advance, odds are pretty good that it was no good off the shelf. Have you had the battery load tested to make sure it's not just the battery with a dead cell?
