try hooking the #2 terminal on the alternator directly to the battery terminal of the alternator and make sure the connections between the battery positive terminal and alternator are good, also as mentioned check for grounding issues between the alternator and battery.This may have nothing to do with your problem,but I wired up an old 53 ford with a high performance 351 Cleveland engine for a friend and it would not charge under 10 amps which I knew wouldn't work long ,after several attemps to to fix it with no success I stopped by the local rebuilder and he told me I had it wired right the battery was the problem, of coarse I wasn't convinced that was the problem because it was winter time and the battery never failed to spin the engine like a top, so I hooked a set of jumper cables to another truck started up the 53 ford and lifted the negative cable from the battery in the 53 ford while the jumper cables remained hooked to the other battery and it cut back to almost 0,i told the man who owned it I need a battery and he didn't believe it was bad either until we repeated the test. The rebuilder said some bad batteries will not except a full charge but will be strong enough to start and engine, he was right best I can recall it would not accept a charge much over 12 volts even though the alternator was producing 14.7
