No, as being a master mechanic, it would have nothing to do with it.
Is the battery dead? Check for 12v on the main alternator cable. If no power, check for burned out fusible links between alternator and battery. You may need a wiring diagram to check further.
It doesn't actually drain the battery, but without a working alternator to recharge the battery it will only discharge as the car is operated.
It depends on the load and the voltage. In an automobile, a battery will typically have a voltage of about 12 Volts. If the engine is not running and you turn on the lights, the lights will start drawing current from the battery and the voltage will drop by a volt or so, depending on how strong a charge the battery has. An alternator will produce in the neighborhood of 15 Volts. If it is trying to push current into a system with a fully charged battery, it will only be able to push a few amps. If the voltage in the battery drops, the alternator will be able to push more amps. A completely dead battery will draw the most current (amps).
bad connection from the battery or alternator
To limit the rate at which the charge is put into the battery in order to prevent overheating, boil-out of the water in the acid electrolyte, and eventually ruining the battery.
my battery is still on after changing battery and altnator
Defective alternator or bad battery.
the battery
did you unhook the battery before replacing the alternator
You might have a bad battery, a poor connection between the battery and alternator, or a bad ground from the battery.
In a 1999 Lincoln Continental : The car battery is located in the engine compartment , on the drivers side of the engine compartment
Good chances are, the alternator is not connected correctly or is defective.
Alternator is defective and needs replacing.
The alternator is probably bad. That is what recharges your battery
It means either the alternator or the voltage regulator is failing, assuming your electronic instrument cluster isn't going bad.
Have the alternator tested.
Battery may have a dead cell and need replacing.
