Alternator/Charging Question

[Norm B]

How is it wired to your system? Doesn’t make sense that your multimeter and gauge are not reading the same. Did you rev the engine after start? One wire alternators have a rpm sensor that turns them on and off. If you didn’t pass the rpms required to start it charging it may not have come on. If it did turn on, you may have got one with a 24 volt regulator installed. As da bat said, not good, it will boil your battery dry in no time and damage your other electrical components.

Good Luck

The alternator in the link is not a one wire, it says it's a 2g.
