You should have at least two wires: one to regulate the electric field within which the rotor spins, one to output to the battery, a heavy wire. Ground would be through the case. But did you not already verify that the alt is putting out 14 volts when running? And yet allows the battery to run down? I'd hook up a VOM and drive it around , see what's happening.
