You may want to check out the regulator/brush assembly in the alternator. They are notorious for causing charging problems. It's a 5 minute thing to pull them out the back of the alternator and look. New brushes are about 1.5 inches long. If yours are not somewhat close, change the assembly. It's pretty cheap.
I chased this trouble through 4 batteries over a couple of years. The "experts" always said the alternator checked out fine; they blamed it on the batteries. I finally ran onto this fix through an article in Nines magazine. Pulled the assembly out, sure enough, the brushes were almost non-existant. Never another problem.
