Battery Issues

[camwill87]

Hello All,
About two weeks ago I sent out a faulty instrument panel for repair and finally it arrived today. After installation, and jumpstarting the beast I drove it around for about 15 minutes to charge up the battery with zero issues. About an hour later I went out to run some errands and no more than 5 minutes after pulling out of my driveway I started receiving a "battery not charging" notification and indicator light. The instrument panel and all other dash/console lights would go out when accelerating but would eventually restore when RPM's leveled off. The "battery not charging" notification and indicator light would also randomly come and go. I had the battery tested and the test came back with a strong battery. So unless the alternator that I installed this last summer suddenly fried I am totally baffled and since it's such a pain in the ass to remove it to have it tested (when I thoroughly doubt that it's faulty) I am totally open to suggestions. ANY! hahaha
