with a fully charged battery let's do the following:
get it started, jump if you have to, and then removed the battery negative terminal. does it stop? if yes then you aren't getting charge.
does the little light bulb in the dash illuminate with key on? the one that shows the charge circuit? if it doesn't then you will not get a charge under 2000 rpm.
to test this, start the car, get someone to hold the rpms to about 2500, remove the battery terminal as before. does it stop? if not get the person to *ease* the rpms down to about 1500. does it stop? replace that light bulb, and with the proper wattage. if there is a dealer get it from them just to be sure. You've already invested a ton of money, spending more for this from the dealer would be cheap...
