Batter Hold issues on 199 lx 470 100 series landcrusier (1 Viewer)

Hello all, ive been having electrical issues with my 100 series (lx 470 1999).

Get ready for the story.

I was taking her out with buddies on a very long overland trip, when my rearview mirror screws broke, initally, I slapped some adhesive I had laying in theback of my truck to keep it from swining on the wire, and cracking my new windshield. The adhesive would not stick so I had to result to cutting the wire, (A very very dumb decision, but I was out in the bush). It blew a few fuses, like the dashboard and interiror lighs, but otherwise it was okay for a day after that trip, but when I was driving it down the highway, the alternator gave. I replaced the alternator, and the battery was reading 14.2v, yet it would still not hold a charge. I replaced the 140a ALT fuse, and still the same isssue, where the battery wont start. itll die after about a hour or so of use. I still have yet to splice the wires for the rear view mirror back together, but I dont think that is the issue at hand. i also replaced the battery with a newer one I had for my Tacoma, (27F), which is the recommended one for the vehicle. I know the decision to cut it was dumb, just looking for some help

If anyone has suggestions or solutions, they would be very appreciated

Have a blessed day, thank you.

battery wont hold a charge*** not start, the car starts just fine.

Be sure that the wires you cut are not shorted to each other as a result of the cutting. Reach in there with a toothpick and separate the wires so that they clearly cannot touch each other.
