Default Charging system problems

Ok, i need major help. I have changed the alternator on my car 3 times and it does not charge the battery. Everytime i drive it and go past 4k rpms the battery light comes on. I have checked the fuse the controls the alternator and its fine. Has anyone had this problem before.

Clean every last connection that has to do with the charging system. 10 to 1 you didn't need to buy a new alternator in the first place.

i cleaned it out, and the alternator i had on there before was bad. but the thing that is trippy is the battery light turns on in the gauge cluster when i go over 4k rpms.
