if it's a OEM 110 amp alternator, it'll probably read about
13.2 volts.
that isn't enough to charge the batteries. they will fail next
year as well. 13.2 volts applied will keep them at a nice 25%
charge level.
the discharge of your batteries might very well be a leaky
diode in your alternator's bridge, allowing discharge.
the factory OEM alternator is worthless. i'd suggest a replacement
from DC power, but there are some folks on here dissatisfied
with their customer service, and delivery times. seems
they are selling them faster than they can build them.
however, getting past that, the product is awesome.

well, i'd measure your battery voltage sitting there idling.
