Even "new" alternators can be bad - especially if you got a rebuilt one that was done half-assed. Back when I used to do some of my own work - I took a couple to a local Bosch repair shop - they rebuilt them for about $60 each back then (maybe 10 years ago) but did great work. I would have to imagine the early failure rate for the "cheapie rebuilds" at the local parts store would be pretty high. Might be worth checking out...
