Measure the battery terminal voltage with a METER. Report the battery voltage
You need to clean and properly tighten the battery terminal/cables. If you can move the wires /cables on the battery terminals by hand, they are TOO LOOSE and may contribute to your issue.
Did you SHORT out the wire on back of the ALTERNATOR by accident?

Now,,, Get that thing back on the road.
LESSON.. The correct TORQUE on the battery terminal bolts per the manual is 11 ft/lbs.
