well lets see, go back and re-examine your battery connection cables,if they are corroded that would cause that symptom.Not necessarily at battery end,but start there. I would be interested where the ground /negative wire goes to after it leaves the battery,say chassis ground or better yet Engine ground. any corrossion that puts a resistance on the charging line back to the battery. Puschase or borrow a VOM meter,put it across the battery terminals while running,should read 13 to 14 volts,not 12 or 12.5 .if voltage is low and idle is correct you still have a charging problem from alternator or a bad cell in battery pulling system down.hope this helps. oh ,by the way make sure your belts are tight and in good shape.

What does it mean when the battery light comes on in a 2002 ford focus?
Bad Alternator or the Battery possibly is losing voltage. I replaced the alternator and serpentine belt before thinking it was the battery. The battery was only 16 months old. But it turned out to be the bad source.

Completely immobilize the car. Block wheels. Use a mechanics jack to lift front end of car. Crawl underneath and remove the 4 bolts on the Alternator. Caution: There may be left over freon ... oops! You said alternator. I was thinking about the a/c compressor. Sorry.
