Electrical problem
1997 Ford Explorer 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Automatic

recently noticed my battery light was on and slowly the gauge starting coming down eventually everything shut down, replaced battery and same problem, replaced alternator and re-used initial battery, however now the batt light is on and the gauge is very high, can any help, do I need a new battery again, pulled terminal from battery while running and engine stayed on, so can assume my alternator is doing its part?

Check mini fuse no.6 15amp and fuse no.15 7.5amp

now the batt light is on and the gauge is very high,

This is no good alternator might be overcharging the battery and the battery will finally be ruined and could also explode-
