Have you tested the alternator output to know if it is really bad?

Look in your Yellow Pages for  "Alternators & Generators Auto Repairing". 
There is usually at least one in every city. A friend who is an auto 
mechanic (specializes in Hondas) says that rebuilts from parts houses have 
failed many times causing him to do the job twice. Alternators from the 
local rebuilder have always been reliable.

You're welcome.<G>
