Hi ive just purchased a foutrak tdx 1997 p reg and there was a undersized battery on there. I replaced the battery with a heavy duty one and put the battery on the battery warning light didn't come on till after 3 days then the battery was flat... Is this a alternator problem?? ive put a meter on the battery when started and revved the viechle and the voltage doent go up on my meter it just stays round 12 volts which is the same when the engine is off. Last night the water in the fuel light also come on the same time as the battery... The jeep will start fine with jump leads off another battery and with bump start can anyone help??? thanks jonfear
yup
not charging, dud alternator issue somewhere, should read at least 13 volts charging.

Most people have identified it, the voltage regulator, it could also be the alternator rectifier pack single phasing which means a reconditioned alternator.
