My alternator isnt charging the battery, car is dead, just for *****, I look in the fuse box and in the alternator place is a smaller fuse like a 7.5 in a 10 or something along those lines.

Would this call my alternator not to work properly? I looked and it is spinning and the belt is moving even with the fuse the way it was.

Could this of caused my battery to die? I already bought an alternator, I was more or less just curious for future reference, I havent installed it yet, but maybe id charge the battery and test it.

Putting a lower amp fuse wouldnt damahe anything. The only thing that might happen is the fuse might blow under regular operation since it might not be able to handle the load.

 

which would then render that component useless?
