   The battery was replaced at the same time as was the alternator: 5 months ago   
   (corrected from my original post).    
      
   Measurement of battery cables: from battery cable (+) terminal to alternator   
   (+) terminal: 1.5 ohms. From battery cable (-) terminal to chassis: 1.5   
   ohms.    
      
   Charging numbers with new alternator & 5 months old battery:   
   With partially (50%?) depleted battery, when the car was started and engine   
   revved, the new alternator output 34 amps, headlights off. With lights on   
   high, output was 44 amps. Charge voltage was 14.04 volts. These numbers are   
   within those specified in the Toyota factory manual (charge current: ³30A or   
   more²; charge voltage: ³13.9-15.1².    
      
   Thanks.
