Default alternator isn't charging the battery.

I just put in a new battery,starter and alternator,but the charge isn't getting back to the battery. I've had it tested by 3 different people and they all say the same thing-everything is running fine but the charge isn't getting back to the battery. Could it be the alternator power cable? or a loose wire?

check the alt power wire, and the plug for breaks in the wires. there has to be some kind of broken connection for the car to see no charge.

I have the same problem as well, the battery stays at around 13.30 volts while the car is running, checked everything and still no answer, the battery should stay at over 13v while the car is running cuz of the battery, my idea is that something is getting too much volts while the motor is running but can't figure out what it is.
