alternator is not charging battery. changed relay board today. here's the rub. ran the car for an hour or so . got home and battery was dead. jumped it from my other car . started right up. removed pos battery connection and it stalled. thought alternator was no good but it runs the car but will not charge.

Did you remove the battery from the circuit? That is a real no-no. The battery must always be hooked up when the alternator is running.
