    Replace the Alternator... Trust me...

    A bad alternator can read good volts, but NOT push the amps...

    Also "Bad Alternators, sells lots of Batteries" True Statement...

    Source(s): I have had very similar problems for a few years, then I replaced the alternator, and now it's all fine...

    clean your battery cable terminals and make sure they are reconnected and tight,if that doesn't work for ya have your battery checked for free at auto zone if the battery check's good you will more than likely need to replace the alternator. what kind of car it is would be helpful to diagnose your problem because there could be also be a fusible link bad,or a fuse in the charging system.hope this info helps.

    Check the alternator output,Autozone will help with that ,also check the battery cable to see if they are tight and clean, free of corrosion.
