Re: '91 Westie with '07 Forester 2.5

Forced retirement sort of gave us the time to do these fantastic trips, we're very fortunate.
Yes, it's been tested and was good.? Not the original but an upgrade, can't recall the make and can't check as it's at the garage being figured out.
Have you Tested the primary battery with a real load tester ? is it a ¡°upgrade¡± like OPTIMA or ??
?
BTW . West coast BC? AND Newfoundland ?WOW .
?
?
Hoping someone may have an idea, been working on this for a few days with little success, and of course we are supposed to be heading out for a 6 week trip across Labrador & Newfoundland.
Had the conversion done a year ago, everything was fantastic for last year's 12,000 km trip to the west coast of BC. (Should have done the conversion year's ago)
Couple days ago was heading to the garage for a minor upgrade, when things started to 'turn off', until the van was barely able to run, battery down to ~7V.? I have a battery switch to flip between vehicle and house battery, enabling me
to go the additional distance.
We have tried 4 different alternators, with the engine running all of them max 12.4 V.? Have unplugged the alternator cables so no load, still only about 12.4V.? Take them out of my van, install in another, and they go up to around 14.4V.??
Belt seems ok, cam shaft pulley also ok.
Do one of the 3 connectors on the one plug of the alternator provide some kind of V sensing where if it isn't connected or loose/corroded, so max the alternator puts out is around 12.4V?? If yes, where is the other end of that going?
Any other ideas or thoughts are much appreciated.
