I'm with the Alt folks, it can be charging fine and be the alternator (actually charging too much which will cost you a heck of a lot in the long run). Find a local starter/alt and go there not to a mechanic. Have them check it out. If a mechanic wanted to be an electrician he/she would've gone to electrical school not mechanics! The two are very different fields. A rebuilt one should be between $100-150 from a local shop with quality (i.e. not Indian copper wiring and aluminum connectors) parts.

Oh and you should not be driving the car at all until you have it checked, that is unless you want to risk frying your harness computers and relays along with your battery!
