Hi I had a new alternator put in a few weeks back and since then after a couple of weeks my battery light comes on not as soon as i start my car but after I've been driving for a while.I've replaced the battery but problem still not gone away.I think the alternator is working as when car is stationary the volt is 12.5 and when started goes to around 13.7 . It seems to me that the alternator for what ever reason isn't working or charging properly whilst driving but I'm no expert and new your help thanks

the alternator is the issue. it has failed. the voltage should be 14 to 14.5 at idle and 1500 rpm.
