Default Electrical issues

When I accelarate my volts drop and the lights dim to me that sounds like an alternator especially becuase my battery is less than a year old.


So I just wanted to know if anyone has any other ideas of what it might be before I go out and buy an alternator.

You can go have the alternator tested to see if that is it too before you buy one.
