Believe refurbished means tested and it was working so cleaned/repackaged and sold...

Agree with the voltage regulator being a likely cause. I replaced my voltage regulator on the alternator and it's not a hard thing to do.

What I did though was get one of the plug into the cigarette/power socket voltage displays from eBay to monitor the voltage to ensure it was installed and working correctly. I could monitor the voltage output in real time....

Alternatively you have a battery with an issue...

Need to measure the voltage output of the alternator to see which...battery or alternator is causing the issue...
