have your alternator tested at a shop. they should have a machine that can put a load on it to see if it is truly running within spec. also have your battery tested.
Do you currently have the original alternator in there?

I remember putting an aftermarket alt in a civic once and the battery light came on immediately after. Even tho it was never on before. Turns out the new alt was bad even with it putting out 14.4v.
