Is the battery/alt warning light on? if they didn't disconnect the battery while the starter was being replaced and they accidently shorted the battery cable out it could have damaged the regulator of the alternator some of the Delphi regulators are very sensitive to that, but if it tested normal at the parts place, does it run down while driving or while sitting?

What would cause battery light to stay on in a 1998 ford taurus. I have had the alternator checked and was told it was good.I have replaced the battery and still battery light stays on?
Battery light usually means alternator not charging. Most common solutions would be be a bad alternator, bad connection, or loose alternator belt. If the battery and alt test ok than check the connections to the alternator and battery. The alternator should have 2 connections.

Do batteries have to be replaced simultaneously with alternators. I replaced my alternator but was told it likely damaged the old battery so I'll need to replace it. True?
No, the battery may be defective and the alternator may be just fine or vice versa. Saying that if the alternator was overcharging the battery it may very well have destroyed a good battery. Just have the battery checked at any auto parts store.
