Unhappy battery light flashes with acceleration

When I am driving on the highway and hit the gas to pass someone else, my battery light flickers in the instrument panel.

Only happens when the truck hits high RPMs.

Tried a new battery. (It was time anyways)
Did an electrical test.

Nothing !!!

Any help ???

Thanks
Bri

Your belt is sliping or you have a bad pulley would be my best guess

Thanks guys !

I actually just had a new balancer pulley and belt installed and its still doing it !

The technician told me that the alternator was fine, but I'll look into it some more.

Thanks again
