Alternator problems again

I posted a few days ago about 2 faulty alternators which were really faulty, well now I got the new one, which is working (tested before I left with it) and I am getting an amp light and on my gauge battery shows low but has started 7 to 10 times in the last couple of days anyone know what this my be, checked the wires, couldnt find anything there. The battery was not dead when I put it in(so i didnt burn up the alternator) battery gauge doesnt really move when I rev it or drive it or lights on but the battery isnt dying? Any one got any ideas, thanks guys.
