I didn't spend a lot of time looking but a bunch lex and yodas use an overrun clutch on the alternator which can and does fail often.
If yours has a plastic cover at the pulley pop it off and verify the shaft is indeed spinning with the pulley while engine is running.
IS#50, GS, and a bunch of others have it and when it fails the alt output can vary substantially or be zero and many don't notice its a mechanical failure of the drive vs a fault inside the Alt itself.

So, on my 09 ISF w/20k mi I replaced the battery on 10/14. Now, about every 2 weeks the batt goes dead. I had it tested-it's ok. I also had the system load tested at Auto zone. It showed the alternator not fully charging. Hard to believe the alt has failed with such low mileage. Any ideas?
