Icon6 Battery light

Last week my daily bucket Battery light came on. I got a new battery, had the alternator checked, and replaced the spark plugs. I'm still having the battery light come on and the rpms drop low enough to feel like its going to stall when I'm stopped. What else should I replace, check?

93 dx, D15.

Usually it's related to the alternator when the light comes on. What exactly did they verify with the alternator when they checked it out (and who checked it BTW)?

I took it to Firestone, as they had a good deal on battery's. Not sure what they checked it with.

Maybe you can try to have local parts store double check it? Or if you have a multimeter you can perform the diagnostics on your own?

The voltage regulator is internal of the alternator, correct? Is there something inside the fuse box that could cause problems too?
