Sounds to me like the charging circuit is working - just not optimally.
What is the voltage on the terminals across the battery with the engine running?
If you've got the terminals disconnected, what is the voltage on them not connected?
Have you verified that all your grounds are clean and tight?

Do your tests with a separate volt/ohmmeter.
