Re: alternator charge check
take a volt meter set the setting on the meter to DC settings about 20 on the meter then apply the red probe on the meter to the hot side of batt. and the ground probe on the meter to the ground on the batt. that will tell you what your alt. is putting out start the car before you test it

Re: alternator charge check
Just take it out and take it to schucks - they'll put it on their machine and tell you exactly what it's putting out.
