Hi Ian
I see your problem, it is the battery that should be charging not the altenator
To measure current you need to be stick multimeter on amps DC and stick it in series with the battery (eg take thick wire from altenator where it joins the +ve term on battery), connect this to black wire on multimeter, then put red wire of multimeter on batt +ve terminal (where alt wire was till you removed it). What current can your meter take, most common is 10 or 20Amps?
Cheers
Kevin
PS are you sure battery is not b######d?
