OTOH, you may have dead/dying battery...not good to run on battery alone, deep discharge these things aren't.

Recharge the battery to full and recheck the alternator output/voltage. If it's still at 12v you prob have a bad voltage regulator and since you got a new alternator and the voltage regulator is internal to the alternator, return the alternator for another one. Have the 'new' one bench tested before you take it home.
