WHY ARE YOU REPLACING ALTERNATOR. be careful. some charging system analyzers will wrongly determine them as dead. with all loads on at idle, the charging voltage can drop below battery voltage..... and yes this means dishcharging the battery. this is normal for the car. what is your actual problem??

What I originally thought was an alternator issue may be a starter issue. I went to start the car yesterday and it went "click" and didn't turn over, after about 3 tries it turned over. It did that all day yesterday, and this morning as well.

If ur alternator isn't charging then ur battery will die even if it's new..
Try to jump start it and if it starts up in 1 try then check the starter. My guess is ur starter brushes r low.. Very ez fix if u want a DIY.. I rebuild them in SoCal so I can ship out the part that is broken if u don't want to buy a new 1
