    Have you verified voltage on the battery to make sure it is in fact charging when you put your foot on the accelerator?

    Watch the voltage on the battery. 12v is not charging, 13-14v is charging. This would be my first step, verify if/when the alternator is actually working.

    Any trouble codes? Check engine light?

    Maybe needs to relearn the idle after disconnecting the battery. When I swapped my battery it idled super low and would not charge when idling that low. Once it relearned the idle it was fine.
