Is the alternator new? Either way take it out and have it tested. Always have them run the test 2 TIMES!

When you turn the key to ON with the engine off does the battery light on the dash come on? If not it's probably blown and need to be replaced as it's part of the "light circut" and it's required to be in working order for the system to charge
