Get a multimeter and check the voltage coming out of the altenator before ya do anything

As like everyone has said, check the altenator and look for 14v

Started the car this morning and put a battery tester on it... immediately was running at 14v in green, as i left it idle with lights and heaters on, it dropped down to 13.6... was in the middle between red/green

when i rev the car it goes back up again to 14v but drops down again as i come off throttle

last day i checked it with battery tester when it was running it said not charging... im thinking ive a bad connection somewhere

Double check all your connections to the altenator, battery and earths. if its reading that it seems perfect.
