Most modern alternators are 'intelligent' and only charge when they 'need' to so this could explain it?

if you have had this problem since changing the altenator i would
get it replaced under the warranty as it sounds like it could be faulty,
or did you have this problem before and thats why you fitted a new
altenator ??

It may be worth changing the auxilliary belt as a matter of course just in case it's slipping
