With engine running at 2 K What is the charging voltage?
A weak cell in a battery or low acid will call for a over charge.

Faulty alternator. Voltage reading 17 to 18.Replacing alternator once again and keeping my fingers crossed.

If you are using rebuilt you might check out Brand new ones at your parts place.
Sometimes not much higher and a lot better.
Good luck.
