Sounds to me that your alternator belt is loose and needs to be tightened.
X2 if it's not tight it does just what your described.Its not turning it fast enough cause it's slipping on the pulley.Back off the alt bolts slip a flat bar under the alt to keep tension and retighten.Look for right about an 1/8 inch of movement in the belt fully tightened
