First things first you need to figure out why the alternator is not charging. The battery is stone dead because it is not charging and it won't stay running with the battery disconnected because it is not charging. There are only three wires going to that alternator, the fat red B+, the skinny red D+, and the ground cable. Make sure that the ground is good, that the D+ red wire has 12 volts coming down it while the engine is running. If all of this checks ok then I recommend you get your money back on your alternator and buy a Bosch rebuilt alternator. Check this stuff out first, get your battery back on the trickle charger and let us know what you find.

Good luck,
Mark
