I have already tested 3 different alternators in the same car but the message was always the same.

you should get the battery checked as it may be the problem.a fully charged battery should give you 12.8 volts 12volts is a flat battery.also check earth leads and the positive lead for good connections.

" Crazy leading for battery "

Should have read ,

" crazy reading for battery "

If battery has weak / dud cells , the alternator will batter it's brains in trying to replace low charge .
