Goes with the first reply. Take it out have it tested at the bench.
Replace if needed.

+1 to this.

Happened to my eg alternator. Had a messed up voltage regulator and it would charge up the battery just enough to keep the car running and start again. Swapped out to an ef alternator and all is good. Though now I'm not sure if the charge I'm getting is up to spec.

Takes a little time to get to you , but worth it.
It will let you know where your charge level is from the alternator.

Click on the link. Let me know what you think.
