Bad alternator?
I just bought a new duralast gold batterie for my hellcat charger, the car has intermittent starting problems. I thought it was for sure the batterie but that did not resolve the issue, the car has a lazy crank and is very reluctant to start. Today i was sitting in it amd watched the volts drop down from 9.1 8.5 before i decided to shut it down. Things like the radio had turned off and the car was starting to display warnings .. service active dampening/ electronic stability control etc...
I also am getting a faint electric smell under the hood.
I am thinking of removing the alternator and having it rebuilt by a local shop down the street.
Any body have any input or suggestions?

Check the continuity of the Field Wire from the alternator to the PCM. The PCM controls the Field Circuit based on system voltage needs & thus alternator voltage & amperage output.
Battery Voltage should also be available at the alternator Battery Terminal all the time.

What about the Field Wire/Circuit?? There's either Voltage to it or it grounds at the PCM. You'll need a wiring diagram to know. Nothing happens with a dead Field Circuit.I checked the voltage at the batterie while the car was running with a volt meter and the voltage was dropping while the car was running.
