I replaced the alternator a few months ago, and everything was fine for a few months. Now the battery is not charging, the same issue as before, did I get a bad alternator is something “blowing” the alternator?

Stop by an auto parts store and let them do a curbside battery and alternator check, free.

Also check the wiring to the alternator.

“Rebuilt” alternators (and everything else) DO have a high failure rate…
