well just before you actually go get a new alternator try the free stuff 1st before you go blow your money on one. Go take it to a local gayzone or O'silly's or w/e you have around their and get your battery tested! to see if it holds charge..they usually do it for free. Also check ur neg. and pos. on your battery to see if their loose or tight. just a few things you can check before you actually get a new alternator b/c it might not be that.

you could buy an alternator @ebay for $180 that has 135 amps that should fix the power you need.

I suspect you mean you have two brand new ultima batteries... and the one in the back acts like a battery not a capacitor. You might even try a battery isolator for the second battery it will also control the charge on that one when it only needs it.
