Who installed your alternator ?? Did they check to see if it was working ?? Did anyone check the charging system BEFORE replacing parts ?? You should have a meter on your dash that shows if the alternator is charging. Do you look at it ?? The alternator also has a fuse you might check. It's located with the other fuses.

One other thing: check your battery connection. The terminals are lead, which oxidizes easily. Even though a battery connection looks solid, it's possible that there is a significant loss in a bad connection. You should clean the terminals with some steel wool and make sure the connections are very tight.

Otherwise, it's true that your "new" battery might have a problem; or your "new" alternator might be a refurbished one that wasn't properly refurbished.
