If your alternator and battery are both in good condition, but the battery
nevertheless won't charge, this points to an electrical problem. First,
make sure that your alternator actually is turning when the engine is
running (should be simple, just look at it).

A serious grounding problem or short circuit could cause this. You could
also be having trouble in the ignition system; check your distributor for
proper distributing.

That's just a guess. No guarantees...
