Unfortunately I believe that it is an inherrent problem with certain alternators on these cars. I've had the issue occur with a new battery and then just go away. I believe that the pre-2000 alternators were somewhat succeptible to this and they cost like $300. If you do a search on the topic here on the forum I believe that you will find some good information on the topic.

GB Vette hooked me up with his old alternator (he went for chrome) and my issues have gone away and not returned
