Check the wiring plug that connects the alternator lead to the wiring loom. I had a similar problem and found that the spade terminals inside the connector had corroded and got hot, causing the plug to partly melt. Charge not getting to battery!
Cut off damaged plug and replace with push fit terminals, problem solved.
