The alternator you got could be bad. The voltage regulator is part of the alternator. Any easy test would be monitor the battery voltage when the engine is revved to 2,500 rpm. Voltage should be around 14.0 volts plus or minus 1 volt. Also take a very close look at the battery cables, they need to be absolutely clean and tight.
