Sounds like something might be hooked up wrong. Check alternator wires and battery cables for good/correct connections. Check for any shorting wires (maybe something got pinched when you put the alt. in) around alt. If all checks out, maybe you got a bad alternator.

its the baterry
Why does my diesel Nissan Terrano always die so every time i have to jump start.?
Your battery is not charging. It is either due to a faulty battery or a faulty alternator. Get it changed.
How do you clear the battery warning light on dash after you have changed the battery?
Check to see if the alternator is working Connect a voltmeter to battery: Without engine running reading should be about 12.8 With engine running reading should be 13.8-14.2 If not bad alternator
You changed battery but battery light still came on then it went off why?
Check alternator with a voltmeter A fully charged battery should read approx. 12.8 volts without engine running With engine running reading should be approx. 13.8 - 14.2 volts
What will happen if you connect a similar make capacity and voltage battery in parallel with an existing ups battery do you need to change the charging unit to charge these batteries?
In parallel no, the voltage is the same the amps double. If hooked up in series the voltage would double and then the charging system would need to be changed.
When you drive your 2000 elantra you notice that smoke comes out of the battery top vent you changed the battery and this is still going on does anyone know what could be the problem?
The alternator is probably over-charging the battery. Replace the alternator if the voltage at the battery terminals is over 15V when the engine is running.

Hazard light??? Do you mean charging system light? If so it is on because the alternator is not functioning properly.
Why would your alternator fluctuate on a 2000 gmc sierra my alt crapped out and i changed it twice and both times the voltage fluctuates and the battery light flashes connections and battery good?
voltage regulator, sometimes its in the alternators, advance auto parts doesn't replace them in remanufactored ones.
Why is your 300sc still not holding power after you changed the PS pump battery and alternator?
Your best bet to to verify your ground wires truly grounded. And check your charging system fuses.
Is potential difference always less than emf of the cell?
No. Because during charging process of a battery current flows in opposite direction to the discharging/consumption. so equation Emf=P.d. +Ir is changed to Emf=p.d. +Ir. Hence during charging process of a battery Potential difference is greater than electromotive force.
Why won't my cell phone battery last longer than one day at a full charge I have to charge it every night, is this hurting or helping the cell phone battery?
I don't think that charging a cell phone battery every night hurts the battery. It does not matter how long the battery is being charged. The battery is created for specified period of time and then needs to be changed.
What could be the problem with your charging system for a 90 Honda accord if you've changed the alternator battery and fuses?
Check for a bad ground. Follow the ground cable from the battery to the car's frame. If there is corrosion, remove the bolt, clean the area, and reattach.
