If you have a volt meter then you can take some readings and post and maybe get a diagnosis. You would want to measure the battery voltage at rest (car off), at idle, and at 1500 or so RPM. Also you can check your connections by measuring the voltage from one side of a connector to the other. For example from the clamp to the post. You would want some load to make some current so you could turn on the lights to do that test. You could do that test with the car off.
